What exactly do the two commands do?
3. Now carry out the actual configuration by typing:

ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp S99lampp
ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp K01lampp

I know they create a 'link', but to what? the shell script in /opt/lampp/lampp.

If so, why two commands? What's the significance of the 'S99' and 'K01'?

Hi,

S99lampp a Link to /opt/lampp/lampp
S stands for start, so when this link is called, it passes a start to /opt/lampp/lampp the 99 meas to start lampp in 99th place.
It starts LAMPP at the end. 1 is the first thing to start 99 the last.

Now to the K stands for "kill" or stop.
When the link is called a "stop" is passed to the /opt/lampp/lampp script, with stops lampp. Thw 01 is so that before everyting else is killed, we kill xampp first.

So long
KriS

Thanks much, KriS!
