Re: how to install xampp in ubuntu 9.10

Hi

I cannot install xampp 1.72 in ubuntu 9.10.

I am unable to install the mysql in the whole installation procedure can any one help.

And when i try to start xampp its saying that the .sock file is not present.

Perhaps you did something wrong in the whole process or don't have the right permissions?
Get rid of the old file(s) and try running this in the Terminal:

Code:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/1.7.2/xampp-linux-1.7.2.tar.gz/download
sudo tar -xvzf xampp-linux-1.7.2.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

After that you need to set it up (if you don't know how). I stumbled across this video that looks pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CsDoEPJg4U
