How I can turn off unknown webserver (Apache probably)?

I want to start XAMPP Apache server but it terminal it says that another web server daemon is already running. So I want to find out how to turn off it or so.

When I go to localhost I get following message:

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

When I go to localhost/index.php I get this message:

Not Found

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

But it worked when I was starting XAMPP Apache and going to localhost earlier, it would open my index.php page and now I can't start it.

I'm not sure if that webserver is Apache, but I'm just telling what happens when I go to localhost

So what I should do? I am using Ubuntu 10.04

Well XAMPP is an all in one package which brings its own apache with it. But Ubuntu has all these packages in its main repository, so I would suggest you opt to use Ubuntu packages to setup your server (There are How-To's online, e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP)

Another option is to remove the Ubuntu provided Apache:

sudo aptitude purge apache2

You can then try to start XAMPP again and connect to your local webserver.
