Can't change installation directory XAMPP

Postby Bugatron » 02. February 2017 11:55

Hi!
I tried to install XAMPP 7.1.1 on a USB stick in OSX 10.8. The installer only gives me the applications folder as an option with no way to choose any other directory.
I also tried to install via Ubuntu but with the same issue: only given option is the /opt directory.

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!!

Nothing. Indeed, the Xampp installation folder for Linux (and obviuosly also OSX) is hardcoded and cannot be changed.

That's really annoying. I would like to have two different versions of XAMPP installed simultanioulsy, which seems to be impossible.
I guess moving an existing installation causes a lot of broken paths in config files, and other headache...
