Having been pleased with XAMPP on windows for some time, I am exploring making the move to Linux.
I have got XAMPP setup, as per the instructions, but I am curious:
On my kubuntu linux box, the /opt directory in which I have installed XAMPP (as per instructions) is only writeable by root. Is this intentional ?
Not being familiar with the directory structure (please is there a "unix directories for dummies article out there ?") I don't know what the /opt folder is for. Does it matter if I change the folder to something not so protected ? Of course, protection is good for a production webserver, but it's inconvenient in a non production environment.
2nd question - is there, by any change, a nice XAMPP GUI upcoming, like the win32 XAMPP GUI ?
Thanks to all you guys out there who made this great software possible - and Germany for the cup ! (does flattery get me a quick reply I wonder )
