| Slide1
| Welcome to this spoken tutorial on XAMPP Installation on Linux

|-
| Slide2
| XAMPP is a free and open source web server package.

XAMPP consists of

* Apache HTTP Server
* MySQL database
* Interpreters for scripts written in PHP and Perl programming languages.

|-
| Slide3
| In the past, this software was called LAMPP.

But to avoid misconceptions it was renamed XAMPP for Linux.

|-
| Slide4
| XAMPP is easy to install.

XAMPP is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and Solaris.

I am using Ubuntu Linux version 10.04

You should have admin access.

|-
| Slide5

Switch to the website.
| The first step is to download XAMPP for Linux.

XAMPP for Linux can be downloaded from the following link

[http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html]

Switch to the website.

|-
| Point to the various links.

Point to XAMPP-LINUX link and click.
| Links are also available to download XAMPP for Windows, Mac OSX and Solaris.

We will choose the XAMPP for Linux link.

Let us click here.

|-

| Scroll down & click on

'''Step1-Download'''

|-
| Click on XAMPP Linux 1.7.x
| Now click on '''XAMPP Linux 1.7.7''' and follow the steps to download it.

|-
| Switch to the Desktop.

|-
| Press Ctrl+ Alt+T simultaneously.
| Now open a terminal by pressing the keys '''Ctrl, Alt and T''' simultaneously.

|-
| In the terminal window, type

cd Desktop >> press Enter.

Type the command

'''cd space Desktop'''

and press Enter to change the directory to Desktop

|-

| Type the command

'''sudo space tar space xvfz space xampp-linux-1.7.x.tar.gz space -C space /opt'''

This command will extract the downloaded archive file to''' /opt''' folder.

'''Press Enter.'''

|-
|Type password >>Press Enter.
|Type the sudo password and press Enter.

Sorry I typed the wrong password that is why it giving me the error "Sorry, try again"

|-

press Enter

|-
|Type password >> Press Enter
|Type the sudo password and Press Enter

XAMPP for Linux has sucsessfully started.

|-

| Now let us test our XAMPP installation.

I will switch to the Firefox browser for this purpose.

|-
| In the address bar, type http://localhost/ http://localhost and press Enter
| Type the URL http://localhost/ http://localhost in the address bar and press Enter.

You will see the URL h'''ttp://localhost/xampp/splash.php''' in your web browser.

This shows that the Apache server is running.

Type the command

'''cd space /opt/lampp/htdocs'''

|Type ls

|Type the command

'''ls '''

and press Enter to display the content of the directory '''htdocs.'''

|-
|Click on "Save" button
|Click on "Save" button to save the file
