Xampp Server Installation

Steps To Install XAMPP Server in Linux

Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:

1. su

2. Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:

   tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt

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

To start XAMPP simply call this command:

/opt/lampp/lampp start

You should now see something like this on your screen:

Starting XAMPP 1.7.3a...
LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.

Ready. Apache and MySQL are running.

Just type in the following URL at your favourite web browser:

http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
