POG1 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I have decided to get rid of windows and use ubuntu and i have a issue installing wampp (for linux) I have downloaded the zip folder and have tried to extract it using the terminal but i dunno the correct command to do it. "can someone move this if it is in the wrong area" Quote
a_bertrand Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Help with OS I personally never used ubuntu, but instead of downloading XAMPP most Linux distributions have package management like yum of apt-get, you may even get those via a graphical user interface. Try to find how to add additional packages like that. If this fail, you may still use xampp (BTW reading the xampp page would have explained everything:) tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.8a.tar.gz -C /opt it will install all in /opt (bad choice for me) Quote
AlabamaHit Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Help with OS lol dude you dont use wamp for Linux, lol... Use LAMP check it..its easy follow this.. Click on System -> Adminstration -> Sypantic Manager. This will open your sypantic manager. (You have to enter your password of course) Now. In Synaptic.. Click on Edit Now click Mark Packages by Task.. Check LAMP Server. click ok. Now click Apply.. To learn more tips on using LAMP just google it or use Ubuntu forums. There are alot of tutorials on there. And great choice to switch.. ALso..if ya like it. check out. (Linux Mint) Quote
Tezza` Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Help with OS WAMP = Windows Apache Mysql Php. LAMP = Linux Apache Mysql Php. I'm guessing anyway, :P. Quote
POG1 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Help with OS i know of lamp but when i searched for it i found the apache friends site and it said wampp for linux :S I have installed it but i cant find the directory that the websites will be ran from. Is it in "/usr/share"? Quote
Tonka Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Help with OS in most installs on linux, it uses /var/www Quote
POG1 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Help with OS yeah i found the dir, but how can i add full read/write permissions? lol Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Re: Help with OS chmod +R 777 <path> You will probably need to be root - and beware, having world-read/writeable is not a good idea -- better to put the path under ownership of the web server and put yourself into the same group to allow you r/w access.

POG1 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Re: Help with OS I tried to change the permissions. Instead changing the owner of the dir worked for me :) Quote
AlabamaHit Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Re: Help with OS What I did was insatalled LAMP phpMyadmin (When I installed those it gave me php) Also when phpMyadmin ask if your using new LAMP select apache2 Also I did was made a Folder in my Home directiry.. /home/alabamahit/Projects Now, this is the folder I use to edit my files... You do have to make a shortcut to the /var/www/ folder... sudo ln -s /home/alabamahit/Projects/ /var/www/ Also I removed that index that they put in by default. sudo rm /var/www/index.php now of course "sudo" is just to make it run as a root your command might be different.. Just thought I would throw that out there,....maybe it will help you... Quote
