Linux LAMPP installation

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#374

1. Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:
   su
2. Change the permissions to the installer
   chmod 755 xampp-linux-1.8.2-0-installer.run
3. Run the installer
   ./xampp-linux-1.8.2-0-installer.run

That's all. XAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp directory.

==========

 cd /opt/lampp/

cp lampp old-lampp

vi lampp 

//find . $XAMPP_ROOT/share/xampp/xampplib and add two line above this line and save this file

XMPP_OS="Linux"

XAMPP_ROOT="/opt/lampp"

. $XAMPP_ROOT/share/xampp/xampplib

# search if test $(osguess) = "rh9" and replace by bellow

# do we have that new red hat linux 9 with posix native threads?

if test "$(osguess)" = "rh9"

test -f /etc/vfstab

 groupadd nogroup

/opt/lampp/lampp start

/opt/lampp/lampp restart

 vi /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

Step 3: Start

To start XAMPP simply call this command:

/opt/lampp/lampp start

You should now see something like this on your screen:

Starting XAMPP 1.8.2...
LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.

Ready. Apache and MySQL are running.

If you get any error messages please take a look at the 

Step 4: Test

OK, that was easy but how can you check that everything really works? Just type in the following URL at your favourite web browser:

http://localhost

Now you should see the start page of XAMPP containing some links to check the status of the installed software and some small programming examples.

/opt/lampp/lampp could only start and stop XAMPP. Since version 0.9.5 it learned a lot of new things to do.
