Posted: 22. February 2012 08:50my problem is xampp file is on my desktop and i dont know what to write instead of /opt.
You ARE on Linux machine, right??? (I ask as you have Win 7 as your OS in your profile)
You need to extract lampp into the /opt folder like the FAQ says...
Step 2: Installation
After downloading simply type in the following commands:
Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:
su
Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.7.tar.gz -C /opt
Warning 2: already installed XAMPP versions get overwritten by this command.
That's all. XAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp directory.
Good Luck
