It is already in english.

This simply means you have to start a terminal and execute all commands as superuser.

Into your linux computer, whatelse?? When you start your linux, you are asked to login. But you cannot login as "root" on Linux Mint, this is prohibited for safety reasons. Therefore you must use the other way, either "su" or "sudo".
GSX3100r wrote:"su or sudo" What ?
You dont have the slightest idea about linux, am i right? "su" and "sudo" are shell commands, enter "man su" in a terminal and read the manual! Same for "man sudo"! There is a simple trick how to run a terminal as superuser: simply start a Terminal and enter "sudo su" (you are asked for your password, after then you are running with root permissions, beware, you can destroy your linux!). Read the manual first!
GSX3100r wrote:"start a term session"" What is a terms session?
A terminal. I am just working with Linux Mint 19.1 and it comes with three different terminals, either "Terminal" or "UXTerm" or "XTerm". Each of them is fine.

A step by step instruction for more than 100 different linux distributions, all working differently, all coming in different releases and versions? Its not Windows, Its Linux. You may enter the Bitnami Team and do that very sophisticated job how to add startup programs in every linux distribution.

Its "GUI" not "GIU". No, no icon in Xampp GUI, same problem as before, there are too many different distributions and too many different startup routines. It is ON YOU to find out, how to add a startup program to your choosen distribution. There are plenty of tutorials (even in Youtube), you also could buy a linux book and learn how linux is working. The boot process is far more complex than in Windows.
P.S.: I just enabled Xampp in Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1 startup at boot time (and a clean stop at shutdown as well), open a terminal and enter all commands, one after the other, step by step. Dont miss one, they look all similar, but you MUST NOT change anything. You will be asked for your password on the first sudo, later on you dont need to provide it anymore:
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp /etc/init.d/lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc0.d/K01lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc1.d/K01lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc2.d/S01lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc3.d/S01lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc4.d/S01lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc5.d/S01lampp
- Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/lampp /etc/rc6.d/K01lampp
DO NOT enter these commands manually, use copy & paste and do not change anything. After you have submitted all commands, reboot your linux. Open a browser and enter
http://localhost - the Xampp dashboard should appear.
