Once you install XAMMP on linux, the most common problem you face is Apache failure. To fix the issues please use following command to first stop and then again start it.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
PhpMyAdmin “Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!”
Once the Xammp is installed, it might be possible to set up the configuration file in writable mode. Try the following steps:
Just chmod 0755 the file
sudo chmod 0755 config.inc.php

I think it's better to use LAMP or LEMP. I have never faed any problem with them.
