I have successfully installed XAMPP 1.5.3 following this guide on Ubuntu 12.04 and it started with no errors.
$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.5.3a...

XAMPP for Linux started.But when I open or in Firefox I get the Unable to connect error.
After I turned out to be unsuccessful, I changed the port in httpd.conf as described here from 80 to 81 and attempted to open and , but I got the same result.
Edit
The output of netstat -tlnp:

According to the output of netstat, the Apache webserver fails to open the listening port. You should download the newest version of XAMPP and follow the instructions on the site.
If XAMPP is ran with default configuration, the output should look something like this:
whisperity@localdomain:~$ sudo netstat -tlnp
