Thx for this great tutorial. I have questions here. When we create public_html folder, are we still in root mode? If yes, then, the owner of public_html directory is root, right? Thx again.

I know my question is out of the scope of this article, but I like to know if you ever install any PHP extensions / PECL using this XAMPP installation?

Thx.

Hey NateP i had been looking forlke 2 hours the solution to the problem of the index with “It works!..” and finally i got it working thanks to your command

“sudo chown nobody /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp”

For those of you having trouble getting past the splash page, I have a solution for you. Type the following into the terminal to fix it.

sudo chown nobody /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp

This will change ownership of the file lang.tmp. By default apache uses the user name nobody. By changing the ownership to this user you are allowing the file to be modified so that you can get past the splash screen.

Thanks very much, for your very good & clear tutorial!

I followed the steps, while installing the latest version (as of writing: ” tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt ” ).

Thanks so much for this tutorial! It was very clear, and helped me where a lot of other ones were confusing. I’m new to Ubuntu, and I found this extremely user friendly. Thanks!
