Q

How do I install XAMPP?

A

Choose your flavor for your Linux OS, the 32-bit or 64-bit version
Change the permissions to the installer
chmod 755 xampp-Linux-*-installer.run
Run the installer
sudo ./xampp-Linux-*-installer.run

Q

XAMPP runs, but why are none of the images being displayed?

That's a special problem with some Linux systems. Please open your /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and look for these two lines:
#EnableMMAP off
#EnableSendfile off

Q

Where are the XAMPP-VM virtual machine files and logs?

A

The XAMPP-VM virtual machine files and logs are stored within your home directory on the OS X host, in the ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/vm and ~/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/log directories respectively.

Q

How do I backup/restore my XAMPP system?

A

The backup and restore functionality is still under development and may not work correctly.
You can create the backup by calling:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp backup

Q

Does XAMPP include MySQL or MariaDB?

A

Since XAMPP 5.5.30 and 5.6.14, XAMPP ships MariaDB instead of MySQL. The commands and tools are the same for both.
