Code: Select all

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed opening '/opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

have you unpack XAMPP with "sudo" permisions ?


1) download XAMPP to folder of your choice (better Userhome folder)

2) open Terminal

3) normaly you are in Userhome folder, also " cd /folder/to/your/download "

4) " sudo tar -xzvf xampp-linux-1.5.1.tar.gz -C /opt "

5) " sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start "

thats all.

In Ubunto Browser http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
from another PC in your LAN write in the Browser http://ip_of_your_ubuntu

but now i can't create my files inside htdocs!?!

cd /your/htdocs/

chmod -R 755 .
chown -R yourUser:yourGroup .

yourGroup will most likely be www-data if you use a debian-based system like knoppix,ubuntu,kubuntu,....
