I downloaded xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run and permissions are:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 132445132 Nov 28 15:20 xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run

I opened a shell as root, logged into the download directory and executed both commands, receiving a Permission denied error in each case:

Code: Select all

./xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run

ERROR: bash: ./xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run: Permission denied

Code: Select all

sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run

ERROR: sudo: unable to execute ./xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run: Permission denied

Haven't had this problem before with previous installations. Don't know what to try next. Any help???

Looks like the problem had to do with where I downloaded xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run.
My system is dual boot and I had previously set my download folder to one on the Windows-7 partition.
I downloaded xampp-linux-x64-5.5.19-0-installer.run again, this time to /tmp on Linux.
I then ran the two commands as referenced on https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_linux.html.
The install process then ran without a hitch.
I guess placing the .run file into a Win-7 directory (ntfs) impacted the .run installation program.

Also, I did not experience the "Error 403 for phpmyadmin" problem frequently posted on this forum.
