    1. XAMPP can be installed on Linux by downloading the file, extracting it to the /opt directory using the provided tar command, and starting it by running /opt/lampp/lampp start. 2. To test the installation, visit http://localhost in a web browser. 3. XAMPP is intended for development and not production use due to security issues like the MySQL root user having no password. The /opt/lampp/lampp security command can help address some security weaknesses.

    XAMPP INSTALLTION PROCEDURE BY

    ELA
    Step 1: Download
    Simply click on one of the links below. It's a good idea to get the latest version. :)

    A complete list of downloads (older versions) is available at SourceForge.

    Attention: If you download these files on a Windows system and you're running
    McAfee virus scanner you may get a false positive virus warning. This is a problem
    with McAfee and gzip-compressed files, it should be ignored.

    Step 2: 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-1.7.3a.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.

    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 1.7.3a...


    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 Linux FAQ.

    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.

    PHP/Ming example, see screenshot). Thanks to Anke Arnold for her font

    A matter of security (A MUST READ!)


    As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for developers
    in a development environment. The way XAMPP is configured is to be open as
    possible and allowing the developer anything he/she wants. For development
    environments this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal.

    Here a list of missing security in XAMPP:

    1. The MySQL administrator (root) has no password.


    2. The MySQL daemon is accessible via network.
    3. ProFTPD uses the password "lampp" for user "nobody".
    4. PhpMyAdmin is accessible via network.
    5. Examples are accessible via network.
    6. MySQL and Apache running under the same user (nobody).

    To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following command:

    /opt/lampp/lampp security
    It starts a small security check and makes your XAMPP installation quite secure. For
    example this protects the XAMPP demo pages by a username ('lampp') and password
    combination.

    See also our XAMPP for Linux FAQ.

    Advanced start and stop parameters


    Until version 0.9.4 /opt/lampp/lampp could only start and stop XAMPP. Since
    version 0.9.5 it learned a lot of new things to do.

    START AND STOP PARAMETERS


    Parameter Description
    start Starts XAMPP.
    stop Stops XAMPP.
    restart Stops and starts XAMPP.
    startapache Starts only the Apache.
    startssl Starts the Apache SSL support. This command activates the SSL support
    permanently, e.g. if you restarts XAMPP in the future SSL will stay
    activated.
    startmysql Starts only the MySQL database.
    startftp Starts the ProFTPD server. Via FTP you can upload files for your web
    server (user "nobody", password "lampp"). This command activates the
    ProFTPD permanently, e.g. if you restarts XAMPP in the future FTP will
    stay activated.
    stopapache Stops the Apache.
    stopssl Stops the Apache SSL support. This command deactivates the SSL support
    permanently, e.g. if you restarts XAMPP in the future SSL will stay
    deactivated.
    stopmysql Stops the MySQL database.
    stopftp Stops the ProFTPD server. This command deactivates the ProFTPD
    permanently, e.g. if you restarts XAMPP in the future FTP will stay
    deactivated.
    security Starts a small security check programm.

    For example: To start Apache with SSL support simply type in the following command
    (as root):
    /opt/lampp/lampp startssl

    You can also access your Apache server via SSL under https://localhost.

    What is where?
    What is where? A big question of our existens, here are some answers! ;)

    IMPORTANT FILES AND DIRECTORIES


    File/Directory Purpose
    /opt/lampp/bin/ The XAMPP commands home.
    /opt/lampp/bin/mysql calls for example the
    MySQL monitor.
    /opt/lampp/htdocs/ The Apache DocumentRoot directory.
    /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf The Apache configuration file.
    /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf The MySQL configuration file.
    /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini The PHP configuration file.
    /opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf The ProFTPD configuration file. (since
    0.9.5)
    /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php The phpMyAdmin configuration file.

    Stopping XAMPP
    To stop XAMPP simply call this command:

    /opt/lampp/lampp stop

    You should now see:

    Stopping LAMPP 1.7.3a...


    LAMPP: Stopping Apache...
    LAMPP: Stopping MySQL...
    LAMPP stopped.
    And XAMPP for Linux is stopped.

    Uninstall

    rm -rf /opt/lampp

    The end.
