Step 3Install the Server Software
Now it's time to install the server software. I installed XAMPP for Linux, AKA LAMPP. It's easy to set up, and comes with Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. To download, go to XAMPP's home page.
Now download the file to your computer (duh)!
To install, go to a Linux shell (Terminal) and login as the system administrator root:
Then extract the archive to /opt:
That's it!
(The extract command didn't work for me, so I just extracted the files with the default archive manager in Ubuntu straight to /opt)
Now download the file to your computer (duh)!
To install, go to a Linux shell (Terminal) and login as the system administrator root:
su(If you don't know the root password, or if one isn't set, you quite obviously have administrator rights, so you can change the root password from your account. If you need to, go to Settings>Users and look for the user "root". Double-Click on it and change the password.)
Then extract the archive to /opt:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.3a.tar.gz -C /opt
That's it!
(The extract command didn't work for me, so I just extracted the files with the default archive manager in Ubuntu straight to /opt)

it may be a typo and you did it right, but it's supposed to be:
tar -xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.3a.tar.gz -C /opt
