Problem installing XAMPP-Error creating directory
Posted: 04. April 2014 20:59
Hi, everybody. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and I have XAMPP 1.8.1 installed and everything works fine.
Recently I wanted to upgrade XAMPP so I downloaded the installer. The installation stops and I have the following
error:"Error creating directory /opt/lampp/share/man". I tried chmod -R 777 on share folder but it's the same error
and permission for folder gets back to it's previous 755. I remember having the same problems with Bitnami installer
for Wordpress so I had to install it manually. I searched for an answer for this but to no avail. it seems like a simple
basic problem and I just don't get it. I hope someone can help.
