Web-server distributions give you Apache, MySQL and PHP bundled in one.


Refer to the PHP & MySQL spoken tutorials, for more details on XAMPP installation.

Show Slide 5

Versions and OS

For this tutorial, we will be using:
  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • Joomla 3.4.1
  • Apache, MySQL and PHP obtained through XAMPP 5.5.19
First of all, let me check if XAMPP is installed on my machine.
Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+T Lets open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys.

Alternately, click on the “Terminal” icon in the launcher bar.

Type sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start Start XAMPP by typing sudo space slash opt slash lampp slash lampp space start
