Ah, this is embarrassing, but upon apparently successful installation of XAMPP on my SuSE 10 box and a successful launch of lampp, I launch Firefox to http://localhost as suggested by step 4 and get the default Apache web server page. I do not see the XAMPP for Linux flash art page. I also tried typing in the address shown in the illustration (which simply isn't found).
I do get the supplementary notification during start-up of lampp:
"XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running."
What could I have done wrong?
taliesin:/home/russ # Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.6.1...
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
