I have downloaded Apache V7.4.3 to my Downloads directory. Now how do I "install" it?

See the FAQ: https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_linux.html

Nobbie,
Yes, I have tried the "How do I install XAMPP?" instructions before. That doesn't work for me. For the 'chmod 755 xampp-linux-*-installer.run' command I get "chmod: cannot access 'xampp-linux-*-installer.run" : No such file or directory". Therefore, I cannot run the 2nd command line of 'sudo ./xampp-linux-*-installer.run'. What to do?

Of cause it should not be "xampp-linux-*-installer.run". You need to use the true file name of the installer instead.

Actually, the command "chmod 755 xampp-linux-*-installer.run" works well (due to the meta placeholder '*' ).

But OF COURSE you have to change directory to your Downloads folder (you said, you downloade the installer into your Downloads directory):

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads
chmod 755 xampp-linux-*-installer.run
sudo ./xampp-linux-*-installer.run

Surely one can demand a little bit of thinking?

All good now. Thank you.
