Enter the commands:

tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz-C / opt

So far it seems all good ... then click:

/opt/lampp/lampp start
And when you press enter I get this:

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.3a ...
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5) ...
XAMPP: Error 1! Could not start Apache!
XAMPP: Starting Diagnose ...
XAMPP: Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.
XAMPP: Please contact our forum http://community.apachefriends.org/f/
XAMPP: Starting MySQL ...
XAMPP: Could not start MySQL!

Paste xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz to /opt, double click xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz, then extract lampp and doing so change
default selection selected files to all files. Hope it will work...// [quote]
