I need to install lampp under a different directory than /opt, so I extracted it to my needed directory and ran a sed to change all /opt/lampp to /adsi/lampp, which seems to work fine. However, when I attempt to start lampp, I get the following:

Code: Select all

adsirms:/adsi/lampp # whoami
root
adsirms:/adsi/lampp # ./lampp start
./lampp: line 126:  2869 Segmentation fault      /adsi/lampp/share/lampp/selinux

Nothing starts and I get these segmentation fault messages. I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sadly - you are on your own.

LAMPP is not a 'LAMP Stack' -- its a bash script carefully tailored to run all the components as 'CLI' command line interface) i.e 'call the executable'. The configuration files have been edited to enable that operational mode. Open the file '/opt/lampp/lampp' in a programmer's editor to see what is done.

You could look at the bash script and all its ancillary files (called bash scripts) + all the configs and make all the needed changes. Even in that case you would still be on your own, and it is hard to say in you would understand every nuance or be able to fix it.

If you need a LAMP stack that does not run in '/opt', I suggest you simply use you favorite Linux installer and the right repositories to build a traditional Linux stack. I should point out that the 'installer method' will (without a lot of knowledge on your part) put all the pieces where your distribution 'thinks they belong'.

Driving the installation of a series of components, particularly ones that need to be inter-operable, to user defined folders is as hard (or harder) on Linux as it is on Windows.

BTW, anyone that wants to prove me wrong with a simple hack will be my hero... i.e. I am not saying it cannot be done. For instance - what folder could be Linux/Unix equivalent to /opt ??? I don't know. BUT I do know that (/opt) is where all 'alien applications' want to install to - i.e. Google Chrome, Zimbra, etc...

Good Luck
