LAMPP (XAMPP for Linux) Installation

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP, Perl and more. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start. The installation I've done here is very straightforward

1. Download LAMPP latest version here
2. From a shell, do to the directory where you put the downloaded archive, extract it to /opt with
   
   sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.4a.tar.gz -C /opt
3. Simply execute this command to start LAMPP with
   
   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
4. If you happen had this message /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 334: log_success_msg: not found, simply follow this instruction to edit your mysql.server file
5. Open the file with sudo mousepad /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server
6. On the 1st line change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash

To check your installation, start Firefox and go to http://localhost
