Installing XAMPP error












0















I followed How to install XAMPP 1-8-3 for Linux in Ubuntu Desktop



I already installed lampp under /opt.



I am using the command sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start, I have seen XAMPP four of them the first one is starting Apache fail, second and third is already running, and last one is starting MySQl



When I try to open xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-4-installer.run on my desktop, I get this error:



there has been an error this installer requires root privileges. please become superuser before executing the installer.

    Have you tried executing sudo ~/Desktop/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-4-installer.run? This will execute the file as the root user (superuser/su).

      I think xampp changed in ubuntu, ubuntu no longer support xampp in their repo, you will have to download xampp from source and install



      # wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xampp/XAMPP%20Linux/1.8.3/xampp-linux-1.8.3-4-installer.run
      # chmod 755 xampp-linux*
