Hello!
First of all I must say that English is not my language but Spanish, so I am writing this query in Spanish and translated with Google translator.
I used XAMPP a bit in Windows, but in Debian I am a complete novice (novice to Debian, to VirtualBox and to XAMPP).
I installed Debian in a VirtualBox on Windows. All I did to try XAMPP, from downloading to attempt to run it, was done in Debian.
I think XAMPP is well installed (through the command indicated in the installation instructions) but when I run it I get 3 errors:
(NOTE: use Debian in Spanish, I get errors that are in Spanish and English translation is doing Google)
lampp: line 135: lampp: command not found
lampp: line 136: lampp: command not found
lampp: line 137: lampp: command not found
The command I use to run it is
bash lampp start
from
root@debian:/opt/lampp#
I do not know if the command is correct because, as I said, I nothing know about Debian.
If I type
lampp start
which is what the instructions say, I say
bash: lampp: command not found
The question is what do I have to do to use XAMPP.
Thanks!
EDIT #1
Tried XAMPP (LAMPP) in Mandriva (same circumstances: Windows -> VirtualBox -> Mandriva) . Same error. Error_log is empty.
Allways downloaded XAMPP 1.7.4 for Linux.
Please, help
Thanks!
EDIT #2
Another frustrating attempt to run XAMPP in Linux.
Environment:
1GB USB Flash Drive -> Slax
Booted my computer with that Linux distribution. Downloaded XAMPP 1.7.4 for Linux. Ran the installation command. Ran the starting command.
Same error (command not found). At least I have an error_log:
[Sun May 01 17:40:48 2011] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /opt/lampp/bin/suexec)

Tried with other commands:
root@slax:/opt/lampp# sh lampp startapache
lampp: line 202: lampp: command not found
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL ...
root@slax:/opt/lampp# sh lampp startmysql
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
root@slax:/opt/lampp# sh lampp php5
XAMPP: PHP 5.3.5 already active.
root@slax:/opt/lampp#
But localhost is still unable (under Firefox, http://localhost tries to download application/x-httpd-php)
Any idea?
