HOW TO INSTALL XAMPP ON UBUNTU

--------------->DOWNOLAD HERE<--------------

open Terminal

Assume the file is called xampp-linux-x64-5.5.38-3-installer.run and is in the folder /home/user/Downloads. You will need to modify these instructions to fit your situation.

1. Open a terminal ( cntrl+alt+t ).
2. enter cd /home/user/Downloads
3. enter chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-5.5.38-3-installer.run
4. enter ./xampp-linux-x64-5.5.38-3-installer.run
5. if step 4 fails with a message including 'permission denied', try entering sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-5.5.38-3-installer.run (you will need to enter your password for this).
   then install it
   
   
   XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
   
   XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
   
   XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
   
   XAMPP for Linux started.
   3. Stopping xampp
   Give command
   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
   4. Verification of xampp works
   For that start xampp first.
   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
   Then open a browser and just give URL,
   http://localhost
   You will get xampp welcome screen as in the attached screenshot xmpp-welcome-screen.png
   
   5. Security
   To make the xampp secure, you have to set password for xampp pages, mysql/phpmyadmin and mysql root user.
   
   Otherwise when you are trying to access xampp pages, you will get error as in the screenshot error-phpmydmin.png.
   
   So to set password, give command on the terminal,
   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp security
   
   and set password accordingly to the instructions showing on the terminal.
   
   Now you can start using xampp
