Stopping old XAMPP background processes

I reinstalled an old XAMPP program on my PC because an error occurred on the old one. Unfortunately, I forgot to stop the three servers before uninstalling. Now I always get an error

XAMPP: Stopping Apache … not running. XAMPP: Stopping MySQL … ok. XAMPP: Stopping ProFTPD … not running.

If I want to start the three new servers of the new XAMPP program. I now suspect that the old processes did not end after uninstalling the old program. I also ended my Apache2 server, which also runs on my PC. I have already looked into the system monitoring but found nothing.

You must go to the Terminal and type

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
