[coldironhands1]

Hey network nerd! when installed it and i go to 'localhost' all that it says, is It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." I don't have that xampp page like you. Any idea why??

[coldironhands1]

I got this when i try to untar it "tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' option" Anybody know why?

[antiacus]

@coldironhands1 I had the same problem. Finally i realized i was not capitalizing -C but using lowercase -c. Took me a way too long to figure that one out ;)

Gah! Why is everything in life so complicated. One problem solved, along comes another. I'm a Linux noob and to be honest it isn't hard at all. It's just complicated, and there's a difference.

@onlyfoolsandhorse

Do you have the ownership of your htdocs folder ?

try this command:

sudo chown -R bh7 /opt

(change 'bh7' to your username)

[OnlyFooIsAndHorses]

Help me please. i have followed your instructions but cannot delete or edit any files in the htdocs folder

[creepingdeath668]

Thank you.

[bhargav2785]

tnx its helpful

[flyingpigstuff]

Be aware!

# = root so he is root!

$ = lower level user which is why he is not stating sudo before everything.

If you unpack lampp into /opt/ and your user level owns it (chown opt) then mysql will run as you and not as root. It will fail.

The correct way is to use sudo with lower level privileges to install xampp.

You should not need to sudo su on ubuntu unless you intend to be lazy or have a death wish.

[GoDiMoNsTeR]

great video man, step by step instructions, fool proof.

Good tip you showed us at the end about how to change the ownership of a folder ( as a linux newbie, I've would never figured out!)

Good Job! Greeting from Chile.

[rockYhre]
