Install and start XAMPP in Ubuntu

1. Download: first download XAMPP Linux 1.7.3a through wget, address for http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz

Remember to add sudo before using wget in Ubuntu

Sudo wegt http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz

2. Installation: extract the downloaded file to the/OPT directory:

Specifically: Tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz-C/OPT

Now, XAMPP is installed in the/opt/lampp directory.

3. Start: To start XAMPP, run the following command:/opt/lampp start.

But in Ubuntu, this cannot be done.

First, you must convert Sudo-s to root.

Second, go to the directory CD/opt/lampp and press Enter. /lampp start to start XAMPP. When the main step is started, the XAMPP cannot be started if one step is wrong. I also learned it after trying it.

The following information is displayed after startup:

Starting XAMPP 1.7.3a...

Lampp: Starting Apache...

Lampp: Starting MySQL...

Lampp started.

It indicates that Apache and MySQL have been started.

4. Test: Enter http: // localhost in ur Address Bar

The Starting Screen of XAMPP contains some connections to check the system status and some simple sample programs.
Run the following command to uninstall XAMPP: sudo Rm-RF/opt/lampp.

Uninstalled successfully. :) XAMPP command
