Hi experts,
I download xampp 1.7.3 and install it on fedora12. I started by ./lampp start but i got the following error messages:

F12, CentOS 5, works for me (the last post).

It looks like your trying to start lampp as a non-root user. By default, the root user can only start lampp.

Start lampp as the root user. Hope this helps.

This problem due to SELinux. If SELinux in enforcing , can't start xampp. I just disabled SELinux and start successfully. If you don't want to use SELinux you can do this or if you like to use SELinux, go for additional SELinux configuration or setup. Reply me you you did successfully.

You "can" get XAMPP to work on an SeLinux box (I think).

I'll double check these instructions later BUT, I got it (XAMPP) working on Fedora 15 Evolution/Gnome workstation.

the install should be like this:

In Terminal, navigate to the directory where your XAMMP download is located.

$ su - c 'tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.4.tar.gz -C /opt'
(supply the root password)
XAMMP should install

Starting XAMPP -

[jonb@localhost ~]$ su -c '/opt/lampp/lampp start'

I will be writing this up as another XAMPP Guide on The Excruciatingly Correct Guide
