Installation

After downloading simply type in the following commands:

1. Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root: su
   
2. Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt: tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.7.tar.gz -C /opt
   Warning: Please use only this command to install XAMPP. DON'T use any Microsoft Windows tools to extract the archive, it won't work.
   Warning 2: already installed XAMPP versions get overwritten by this command.
   

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

Start

To start XAMPP simply call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
You should now see something like this on your screen:
Starting XAMPP 1.7.7...
LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.

Ready. Apache and MySQL are running

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.
