in linux, it is little bit formal .but security like proffesional web server is maintained here. here I wil briefly go through the steps of installing and using xampp (in linux it is called lampp).
- step1: download xampp package from apache friends website-
- step2: the file will be downloaded in tar.gz format. install it (i assume the file is in your home directory) using command-
- step3: after instalation start the service usin command-
to see other command options write -
"sudo /opt/lampp/lampp"
- step4: now browse to http:/localhost and you will get xampp home page. but how can you put your websites folder into root (htdocs) directory ? two ways ftp and local access by copy.
- step5: the easy way to copy the folder to /opt/lampp/htdocs directory but using copy paste you can not do it. you should use cammand as root user. to copy folder mysite from home directory to htdocs write-
now you have to change the permission of the uploaded folder so that other user who will access through browser
can read write and execute it. command-
sudo chmod 707 -R mysite
to put folder via ftp normal advanced ftp client will be needed. you must need to change permission of the uploaded files and folder to read write.
I think you are done now.just go to the browser and browse your site and develop it.
