Failed to execute default Web Browser - G Hardin - 02-09-2020
I installed XAMPP 32bit version 5.6.23-0 in Linux Lite version 3.8. Install went without a problem but whenever I clikc any of the control panel links to go to the XAMPP dashboard, it gives a dialog box that says "Failed to execute default Web Browser" "input/output error."
I only have Chromium installed, but the same error occurs if I remove Chromium and install Firefox. I have search for "Failed to execute default Web Browser" and can find no solutions that work. Any ideas?

Kind of a funky thing to do. XAMPP runs under root which means you will need gksudo. If your web browser is the intended file manager for this (not sure what XAMPP really is) you probably need to open your firewall ports 80 & 443.

Did you start XAMPP? To start it, open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp startHope this helps!
