Installing Lampp on LINUX

First of all, get your copy of Lammp in apachefriends.org
search for XAMPP Linux.
to extract the lampp: 
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt

it will put lampp and its contents to /opt folder.

after you extract it out, you're ready to start your server.
to start apache server and its following components (mysql,etc.) all you have to do is type this command :

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

to make lampp autostart when Ubuntu start edit the rc.local file. You need to root access or sudoer as root to make it editable:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

then paste the sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start on that file.


Ok. now, you already have a web server on your Linux computer :)
