Welcome to the Linux version of XAMPP
(on x86-compatible processors)
By the way: In the past this software was called LAMPP but to
avoid misconceptions we renamed it to »XAMPP for Linux«. So if
you are seeking for LAMPP you're on the right track. ;)
If you encounter any problems with XAMPP please feel free to
get in touch with us. This will help us to improve XAMPP and
make it more useful for everybody. |

Pictures of XAMPP for Linux
As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Here you can take a look at some screen shots of a XAMPP
installation.
Simply click on one of the links below. It's a good idea to
get the latest version. :)
A complete list of downloads (older versions) is available at
SourceForge.
A detailed overview over the changes and contents of all

Development package |
27 MB |
The development package
contains all files you need if you want to compile other
software packages for XAMPP by yourself and the Unix manual
pages. Install this package like the normal XAMPP distribution:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-devel-1.6.6.tar.gz -C /opt
MD5 checksum: 8a8fb14556b281f396f90833c4583c42 |
|
| Attention: If you download these
files on a Windows system and you're running McAfee virus
scanner you may get a false positive virus warning. This is a
problem with McAfee and gzip-compressed files, it should be
ignored.
After downloading simply type in the following commands:
- Go to a Linux shell and login as the system
administrator root:
su
- Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.6.tar.gz -C /opt
Warning: Please use only this command to install
XAMPP. DON'T use any Microsoft Windows tools to extract the
archive, it won't work.
Warning 2: already installed XAMPP versions get
overwritten by this command.
That's all. XAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp
directory.
To start XAMPP simply call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
You should now see something like this on your screen:
Starting XAMPP 1.6.6...
LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.
Ready. Apache and MySQL are running.
If you get any error messages please take a look at the
Linux FAQ.
Step 4: Test
OK, that was easy but how can you check that everything
really works? Just type in the following URL at your favourite
web browser:
http://localhost
Now you should see the start page of XAMPP containing some
links to check the status of the installed software and some
small programming examples.
The Instant Art example: A small PHP/GD program (since
0.9.6pre1 also a flashy PHP/Ming example, see screenshot).

A matter of security (A MUST READ!)
As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use
but only for developers in a development environment. The way
XAMPP is configured is to be open as possible and allowing the
developer anything he/she wants. For development environments
this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal.
Here a list of missing security in XAMPP:
- The MySQL administrator (root) has no password.
- The MySQL daemon is accessible via network.
- ProFTPD uses the password "lampp" for user "nobody".
- PhpMyAdmin is accessible via network.
- Examples are accessible via network.
- MySQL and Apache running under the same user (nobody).
To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the
following command:
/opt/lampp/lampp security
It starts a small security check and makes your XAMPP
installation more secure.
Because such very new versions like PHP 5 always should be
handled with care we decided to include both current versions of
PHP into XAMPP since version 1.4.7: PHP 5.x and PHP 4.x. If you
find out your PHP application doesn't work with PHP 5 you will
be able to switch back easily to PHP 4.
By the following command you can switch "back" to PHP 4.x:
/opt/lampp/lampp php4
And with the following command you can switch back to PHP 5.x:
/opt/lampp/lampp php5
If you forgot which version of PHP is in use simply use
phpinfo() or call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp phpstatus
Until version 0.9.4 /opt/lampp/lampp could only
start and stop XAMPP. Since version 0.9.5 it learned a lot of
new things to do. |
|

| start |
Starts XAMPP. |
| stop |
Stops XAMPP. |
| restart |
Stops and starts XAMPP. |
| startapache |

command activates the SSL support permanently, e.g. if you
restarts XAMPP in the future SSL will stay activated. |
| startmysql |
Starts only the MySQL database. |
| startftp |
Starts the ProFTPD server. Via FTP you can
upload files for your web server (user "nobody", password
"lampp"). This command activates the ProFTPD permanently, e.g.
if you restarts XAMPP in the future FTP will stay activated.
|
| stopapache |
Stops the Apache. |
| stopssl |
Stops the Apache SSL support. This command
deactivates the SSL support permanently, e.g. if you restarts
XAMPP in the future SSL will stay deactivated. |
| stopmysql |
Stops the MySQL database. |
| stopftp |
Stops the ProFTPD server. This command
deactivates the ProFTPD permanently, e.g. if you restarts XAMPP
in the future FTP will stay deactivated. |
| security |
Starts a small security check programm.
|

For example: To start Apache with SSL
support simply type in the following command (as root):
/opt/lampp/lampp startssl

https://localhost.
What is where?
What is where? A big question of our existens, here are some
answers! ;) |
|
| IMPORTANT FILES

| File/Directory |
Purpose |
| /opt/lampp/bin/ |
The XAMPP commands home.
/opt/lampp/bin/mysql calls for example the MySQL monitor. |
| /opt/lampp/htdocs/ |
The Apache DocumentRoot directory. |
| /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf |
The Apache configuration file. |

/opt/lampp/lampp stop
You should now see:
