Daniel0 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Don't use XAMPP. You should rather use the built-in package system in Ubuntu to install that software. Run this from the terminal (as root): aptitude install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server mysql-client Your document root will then be /var/www Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123560-xampp/#findComment-638403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkkenzie Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 I get a response that "E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(13 permission denied)" and "E: unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? " I have logged in as administrator with user name "emo", how can i log in as root? What are the default username and password for root? thanks Joseph Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123560-xampp/#findComment-638893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The username for root is... root. However, on Ubuntu root's password is locked so you have to use the command sudo. If you run sudo -i then it'll ask you for your current user's password. You can also just prepend sudo to the command above. There is not really any administrator account so to speak; there is root and then there are the regular users.

jkkenzie Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks very much. Is there a way i can download and install rather than do it online? Some files are corrupt, and it keeps downloading over and over again. regards, Joseph Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123560-xampp/#findComment-638990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 They shouldn't be "corrupt", but if it somehow doesn't work then try to to use clean or purge instead of install in the above command. Then try to install again. Also, make sure you got rid of that XAMPP thing before trying to install it using aptitude.

Daniel0 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I don't know. You'll have to consult XAMPP's manual. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123560-xampp/#findComment-639695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Joseph To remove xampp have a read of the Uninstall section at the bottom of the page here http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#388 Before removing ensure XAMPP has stopped (this is explained in the link above too).

jkkenzie Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Alright, thanks guys, but i would like to know why do you not like XAMPP?? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123560-xampp/#findComment-641746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I for one don't see need to use such a bundle in Linux, where installing all the elements from repositories works flawlessly. I had Apache, PHP and MySQL up and running in some 20 minutes using just Ubuntu Package Manager (or whatever is it called) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123560-xampp/#findComment-641768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
