How to migrate XAMPP from Windows to Linux? [SOLVED]
Posted: 06. December 2011 20:01
Hello,
I've looked through Google for ages but I either I am not looking right, or no one has ever asked this question before:
"How does one migrate a WIndows installation of XAMPP to Linux?"
Here's my situation in detail:
I used to have a Windows install of XAMPP on the 2nd partition of a hard drive. Partition 1 was my C:\ drive, containing my Program Files and Windows, while partition 2 was my D:\ drive, containing XAMPP (in the root), among other files.
I've switched to Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit now. I've Googled a bit where to move the directories to, but there are conflicting posts, one telling to put them here, another one to put them somewhere else. I've tried both and in each case get a 403 error. I've stopped the server when copying files and put all permissions to my own usergroup.
I would really like to know how to do this. I also wonder why there isn't a step-by-step tutorial for this available, or if there is where it can be found.
Thank you in advance for your time.
