xampp-1.8.0 sfs: Apache, php5, mysql, proFTP server

#1 Post by mcewanw »


If anyone wants this, I am happy to upload it to a repository if someone who has such pm's me with repository details where to upload etc.


The sfs I've built is just the unchanged tar.gz from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html made into an sfs. It is currently (6 Sept 2012) the latest version. I haven't modified it or cut it down in any way and don't plan to, so Its pretty big (80MB download). Lots of language related directories could be removed if someone bothers to rebuild it... but best to leave it internationalised I feel.

Tested on Slacko-5.3.3 and seems to work fine there. However, I haven't tested it other than the below, so use at your own risk. Haven't tried it on Wary 5.3 at all. May or may not work there...

It all installs into /opt but I notice that it also writes some config directories straight into /opt so these are left behind when the sfs is unloaded. I haven't checked and don't know if it writes any config information elsewhere.

To start it up, open a terminal at /opt/lampp and run the command:

Code: Select all

./lampp start
You will see Apache, MySql and proFTPd starting up via the console messages, hopefully without error. All going well, which it did for me, you can now start Seamonkey and enter url address; localhost
If it is working you should see the Xampp test page displayed. For more info check the docs at http://www.apachefriends.org

To stop the services enter:

Code: Select all

./lampp stop

There is several places to upload the file to.

Here is a thread in another forum about that:

I hope a shrink down version without all the fat is possible to find soon.

I look forward to try your work.
