In the first one, I followed the steps shown here : http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#377
but when I type "su" in terminal and type in my password, i get the message "su: Authentication failure" , I stopped trying with this way.
In the second one, I followed the steps shown here : http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3400
Through Alt+F2, I extracted the files of xampp in the /opt , the directory for xampp is : /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp
When I type localhost in firefox, I get this message :
,It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
however no page for configuration of xampp opened.
Also, the index.php file found in the htdocs directory says :
- Code: Select all
<?php
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$uri = 'https://';
} else {
$uri = 'http://';
}
$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(
I deleted the lamp file from /opt and tried it all over again. The same result.
Also, when I type /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp start in terminal, i get a message that it did not find the directory
the directory is there!
Help!
I use linux 10.04.1
Another odd thing, is that when I tried to change the permission of the htdocs - as seen in the second guide - it does not let me change them.
