Apache Friends Support Forum

now that i have installed and tested windows version which is working great and i can't get all the standard software on linux suse 9.1 to run i would like to try xampp for linux. so my question is
do i have to uninstall apache2, mysql and php this came with suse 9.1 packages from suse and then install xampp
i was trying to get same results that i got on windows on linux without installing xampp way to complicated and mysql will not work for me i mean the one that came with suse 9.1 so again should i uninstall apache, mysql and php before installing xampp
thanks

Only deactivate the Services like apache2, Mysql, ... in SuSE, than run Xampp and etherything works fine!

You don´t have to remove it!

I've use standard install of SuSe 9.1 Personall, I've added Xampp without removing Apache/MySQL/etc. suse packages...

I think you don't need to uninstall Apache/PHP/MySQL packages that came with Suse, just make sure they're not running, and then install XAMPP and make sure you ediy the right files (in /opt/lampp/).
That's how I did it, with Suse 8.0 Professional, Suse 9.0 Professional, and Suse 9.1 Personal. And it worked perfectly fine!
