Problems with the Linux version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

I have been trying to install xampp 1.6.4 on my computer and i get this error!
tar: xampp-linux-1.6.4.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
the command following sudo was " tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.4.tar.gz -C /opt"
I went to help on tar -its as clear as mud!- no help there!
will xampp run on ubuntu?
I would really appreciate if you can point me in the right direction - this is my first time with linux!
john - thanks again!!!

The file "xampp-linux-1.6.4.tar.gz" is not in your current directory.

make sure you are in the directory first.
Change directory
- Code: Select all
cd /opt
then
- Code: Select all
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.4.tar.gz -C /opt
start it
- Code: Select all
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
stop it
- Code: Select all
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
gtk/python control panel
- Code: Select all
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/xampp-control-panel.desktop
Paste the following into the open file and press 'save' and then exit.
- Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Start/Stop XAMPP
Name=XAMPP Control Panel
Exec=gksudo "python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py"

"XAMPP Control Panel" will show up in your applications menu under Internet or 'other'.
