Something very strange happen today when we tried to start LAMPP

. . .

cat: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Starting XAMPP for Linux …
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

We Googled it, noticing that some other people got the same problem:

So we tried

cat /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga)

so edit lampp, replace ‘Fedora’ with ‘Tikanga’, save lampp and restart lampp, works!

Don’t understand why ‘Fedora’ worked before, but not now.
