XAMPP for Lunux from USB flash

How to install XAMPP for Linux to USB flash and use on different Linux PC's?

Like XAMP for Windows which I use on several Windows PC's from USB flash.

I found that I can't install XAMPP to USB flash... but I found very good solution for me ...
XAMPP needs to be installed to Linux... then open XAMPP configuration file /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and set like this:

Code: Select all

<IfModule unixd_module>
    User username
    Group username
</IfModule>
# username means your linux login username!

<Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/www"

<Directory "/opt/lampp/www">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
# DocumentRoot path and Directory path are symbolic link to /media/username/USB_FLASH/www folder!

Now I can view my php files (in browser) from my usb flash

I made symbolic link with Terminal emulator:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /media/username/USB_FLASH/www /opt/lampp

and then in /opt/lampp folder symbolic link /opt/lampp/www has been created.

I use Lubuntu 13.10 with XAMPP for Linux 1.8.3 and my USB flash is FAT32 formated.

The easiest way to install Xampp to an USB stick is to mount the USB stick to /opt/lampp (instead of /media/xxxxx) and then simply run the installation procedure.

Interesting, what is exact procedure?
Does it means that I need to make /opt/lampp folders before I run XAMPP installation?
