My OS is Ubuntu 11. I am trying to install XAMPP 1.7.7.
I entered “su,” my user name, and my password at the command line. This procedure worked as expected. Then I entered the following command:
- Code: Select all
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.7.tar.gz -C /opt
The console put out many lines of text, with a frequent error message of:
- Code: Select all
tar: lampp: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
This refers to making the LAMPP directory in OPT. How do I gain permission to mkdir in OPT?
Regards,
Ben
