xampp giving error after update to 17.10 from 17.04

[Nazish Akhtar]

After update I am not able to launch xampp. Whenever I run ./manager-linux-x64.run it gives the following error:

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnknown Error couldn't connect to display ":0"

Even after a reinstall it gives same error.

Open your terminal and select the dir where lampp is located and write this command:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
and then type this

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
