I want to run a website from my computer. I use XAMPP on a Kali Linux. I installed MySQL server with the command: apt-get install mysql-server After it was successfully installed, I entered the command mysql_secure_installation It prompted me to login to MySQL, but it repeatedly gave the error ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) I tried my password several times, with no changes just to check if I have typed it wrong the first time. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I am following a tutorial from this site .

I've been trying the whole day to install XAMPP onto my Steam Deck so that I can run Apache and other things from the XAMPP Control Panel. I've gone to the XAMPP website and downloaded XAMPP for Linux . The download gives me a .run file, but how do I run this .run file? When I open the file, then I get the following: What app do I need to choose to install XAMPP? I've chosen a couple of random ones, but it's not working. Launching it using the default Discover app, I get the following error: > Could not open file:///home/deck/Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏻. Thanks. --- **EDIT:** As suggested by ZOOM in the comments. I need to try and run it through the Terminal using the following command: ` ./xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run `, but that gives a permission error: > bash: ./xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run: Permission denied And running . ./xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run, gives the following error: > bash: .: ./xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run: cannot execute binary file

I'm trying to install xampp, and even though the MySQL is working, I can't get Apache started. I have tried many solutions. Below is the output I get when I run sudo systemctl status apache2 I have little experience with Linux and I would appreciate any help. If you want any more information, please mention and I will update the post accordingly. TIA!

I downloaded xampp from the official site. I followed this and this answer . Then I had to download pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade. But after trying to run this line: sudo python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py I get this . What am I missing? What to do?

I simply just want to be able to display the text at a smaller size as it currently is too large and messes with the display of the output (at least on my laptop screen which isn't all too big, but isn't small either) I'm specifically using XAMPP shell console. I've looked around on the control panel but can't seem to find any options so I figured I should ask on her to see if anyone might know anything.

i have a fresh install of linux mint 21.1 as well as the latest version of xampp which comes with php 8.2.4. i added

PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin

to .bashrc to access php from the terminal. it works and recoginzes the

command. the problem is that i cannot use php interactively with option

-a

. i get this error instead: **Interactive shell (-a) requires the readline extension.** i have only found this discussing the issue and i tried to follow the advice. i installed what i think is the extension with:

apt install php8.1-readline

which made this config file: **/etc/php/8.1/mods-available/readline.ini** i added

'--with-readline'

in **opt/lampp/bin/php-config** to configure_options. (i also tried adding

--with-readline=/etc/php/8.1/mods-available

) but no luck. i also installed libreadline-dev with

apt install libreadline-dev

as the tutorial i read suggested. but no luck. is it because php was installed as xampp? (btw, i restarted apache and opened a new terminal with each try). UPDATE: found this in an answer on an old apache forum -- >You cannot add extensions to Xampp. Either it is already included >(what i dont know), or it is not included. You cannot add it, because >you have to recompile the whole thing. As far as it looks, readline is >not part of Xampp. >If you need readline, you should not use Xampp, instead use the >Packages from Ubuntu (Apache, MySQL, PHP etc.). i guess i will give up and install them all separate unless someone here knows something... but that was from 2008, so i was hoping something has changed.

I use Arch Linux (x86_64) I updated my repositories today with the following command

Sudo Packman -Syu

But the xampp program no longer runs

How can I fix it?

Pulling my hair out with this one :( Lampp is working fine on Mint 21 on my Workstation but I can´t for the life of me work out why I can´t get it to work properly on my HP laptop (for working elsewhere). I installed it the same and edited the conf files the same but it when I start Lampp, the apache server and Mysql server start up okay but the browser is unable to connect to localhost. In the error message, the localhost has been changed to www.localhost for some reason (although, it's the same on the workstation - which works fine). On the workstation, I have also edited the dashboard to include a link to the websites folder under "www" as there didn´t appear to be any way to load the websites from the dashboard. All this has been the major nightmare in the move from windows to Mint. Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have been playing around with my Apache config file for a while to get WSGI working for my Flask application. I was not able to get

working though (

/phpmyadmin

shows the

code), so I thought I'd try XAMPP. I installed it and was able to get

working. However, I couldn't get it to work with WSGI. So, I removed

/opt/lampp

. But now, even if my

.service

is not running and

"refuses to conect",

/phpMyAdmin

prompts a Download in my browser which downloads this code , and

/phpmyadmin/setup

returns this code . One more thing,

/phpmyadmin

showed the XAMPP favicon in the title bar. So I deleted

/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/favicon.ico

(which I checked, and it looked exactly like that). But now, though

/phpmyadmin

doesn't show that icon,

/phpmyadmin/setup

still does. My questions: 1. How to get PHP to work in Apache? (Trust me, I have read every guide on the Internet) 2. How am I able to access

/phpmyadmin

if

is not running? Thanks!! PS: I am on Arch, btw.

First, I have already permanently set the PATH directory of MySQL in my .bashrc so I can use it in terminal in any directory. To verify this process, I restarted my computer, open the terminal and use the command mysql without navigating into any directory. I can also use mysqldump in any directory in terminal. I am using xampp, and it was installed in /opt/lampp/. I have no problem at all when using mysql or mysqldump in terminal What I don't understand, and what I want to fix is when using mysqldump in crontab. So I have this script on my desktop, with the filename of mysqldump.sh. What's inside is; mysqldump -u root thedatabase > /media/sfadmin/BACKUP/db_'date +\%Y'.sql 2> /media/sfadmin/BACKUP/crontab_error.log The problem here is the mysqldump is not working and is throwing me an error of: mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) when trying to connect which I don't understand why. I have also tried to change the code in my script to; (cd /opt/lampp/bin/ && mysqldump -u root thedatabase > /media/sfadmin/BACKUP/db_'date +\%Y'.sql 2> /media/sfadmin/BACKUP/crontab_error.log) which still no luck. what is wrong? why the crontab is using the socket of /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock? How can I fix that? Anyway, the crontab is */1 * * * * /home/sfadmin/Desktop/mysqldump.sh. This should execute mysqldump every minute. All the configurations are the default for MySQL, I didn't put any password or anything. **EDIT**: Let's say that the said duplicate post solves this problem, which is about setting the environment variables for the cron to use, then how come this thing work; - Perform a clean install of ubuntu (same version) - Install Xampp - Setting the PATH directory of MySQL in my .bashrc - Create a file mysqldump.sh on the desktop, and make it executable. - Add this code in the script mysqldump.sh: `mysqldump -u root thedatabase > /media/sfadmin/BACKUP/db_'date +\%Y'.sql 2> /media/sfadmin/BACKUP/crontab_error.log` - execute crontab -e in terminal, and save this */1 * * * * /home/sfadmin/Desktop/mysqldump.sh. How come the same method works in a fresh install without doing the said duplicate post?

**tl;dr** _What is the best / the most reliable way of testing and comparing performance of XAMPP / Apache server running on different computers and cloud services? If I need a high-level result (just a compare of performance between different option) will measuring browser response times be enough? Or is there any better option?_ ---- I am using [XAMPP](https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html) in three versions (with PHP PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1) on four different gears: * Very, very old PC with Windows XP * Old PC with Windows 10 * Very new and ultra fast PC with Windows 11 * Raspberry Pi 3B+ In addition, I am also using Apache server (but not entire XAMPP) on 12 years old NAS with Linux and in a couple of cloud solutions from AWS, Digital Ocean and OVH. In the same time I am a complete newbie when it comes into performance testing. What would be the best / the most promising or reliable way of testing speed of serving websites / processing API requests on all these gears? The scope or expectations from such test is a quite very high-level in my case. I just want to learn myself: * If using given piece of hardware is or isn't pointless (in case of actual computers) * If there is any clearly readable correlation between service configuration / monthly fee and web server performance (in case of cloud services) Thus, I don't expect any sophisticated results, reports or number. Just one (or more) factors that will allow me to distinguish / compare results of the same piece of software (that I normally use) running on different hardware and cloud options. Since I am a complete beginner to this topic, the only idea that came to my mind is to manually invoke each request directly from my browser and measure response time as reported by browser's dev tools. Is there anything better? ---- **EDIT**: To clarify the question. I don't want to test a hardware. I want to test: * Exactly the same piece of software (XAMPP / Apache httpd) * In exactly the same version * Running on few different hardware (or cloud) platforms I am an author of a several webapps (but I am purely a developer, not a dev ops hence the question). All of them are purely internal (intranets) and not public at all. All of them are: * Served using exactly the same platform (XAMPP) in exactly the same version * Developed using the same language (PHP), framework (Yii 2) and version * Developed by the same team and using the same coding principles Based on above we can assume (can we?) that even though these are all different webapps, their difference is nearly purely business (functional) and therefore their performance will be strongly connected to the number of visitors and the hardware used to serve it. Some of these apps are visited / used by 3-5 persons per day, some of then -- by 50 per hour (at most). By getting an unique solution to test performance of XAMPP under different gears I want to answer myself questions like: * Is using that very old PC enough to serve the XYZ app, with 3-5 visitors per day or is using it pointless / nonsense? * Can I use that fairly new laptop as a secondary (backup) server for the ABC app that has 25 visits per hour at most or is such hardware not enough? Sorry, if you see my question and affords pointless, but I an an eco-maniac and I want to do _virtually everything_ to give my old hardware a second life, second chance or second assignment. Trashing it is the very, very last scenario that I consider. Hence this question.

I tried this:

cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/
sudo usermod -a -G daemon john
sudo find . -exec chown john:daemon {} +
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} +
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} +cd   <-problem child

It goes fine until the last command which gives me "find: missing argument to `-exec'" So Wordpress cannot add or delete plugins etc... thoughts?

There is a PC which is running an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS OS. It is hosting websites using xampp (Apache + PHP + MySQL). All the setup has been made by a web developer who is a root user. So far, there is a need to distribute this PC to customers who suppose to only be able to benefit from the hosted websites services, but not being able to read, or copy its source code (PHP script). Only a root user should be able to do so. How can this be achieved? Please notice that I'm not a geek in Linux neither in English.

I'm trying to install Xampp on Fedora Linux 35, but I'm getting this error every time I try to start it. I followed this tutorial command I use - sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start Output -

I tried reinstalling, but it didn't help. What should I do?

I have a basic website that I want to get HTTPS on. It's like the crowning jewel to me. However, I am using linux mint for the server. All the tutorials I can find for it are on windows, using a certificate generator. I couldn't find a certificate generator in the /opt/lampp/ folder. could someone point me in the right direction?

I was trying to send mail. It's not working I don't know why. I am not getting any error either. I am not getting any mail. I tried by different email addresses also..

I'm still learning about how to make a desktop launcher. I'm trying to make a desktop launcher for the XAMPP Manager (a.k.a. the GUI). This is the location of the .run file: /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run And here's the desktop entry i'm trying to make with the name xampp-gui.desktop :

[Desktop Entry]
Name=XAMPP Control Panel
Comment=Start and Stop XAMPP Services
Exec=sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run
Icon=/opt/lampp/htdocs/favicon.ico

Categories=Programming
Terminal=false

I also have done the chmod +x to the .run file and the .desktop file. When i tried to launch it, nothing happens. Perhaps i did any mistake or missing something?

I am trying to set innodb_log_file_size and max_allowed_packet values on my mysql. I am using xampp under Linux Mint 20. So I edited /etc/mysql/my.cnf The file looks like: # # The MySQL database server configuration file. # # You can copy this to one of: # - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options, # - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options. # # One can use all long options that the program supports. # Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with # --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use. # # For explanations see # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html # This will be passed to all mysql clients # It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes # escpecially if they contain "#" chars... # Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location. # Here is entries for some specific programs # The following values assume you have at least 32M ram [mysqld] innodb_log_file_size=256M max_allowed_packet=256M I finally restarted mysql with: sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart But I am not getting the new values if I execute SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet' on my mysql. What am I missing?

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 with XAMPP 7.3.7.1 for Linux. I have one acct. that uses HTML and so I use `` for my includes. The problem is when I bring up the virtual host, it doesn't display any of the includes. I already have other sites that work but they use PHP. Any idea on how to fix this? If this has already been solved, point the way.
