I am trying to install xammpp on my Ubuntu 13.04. What I did was downloaded xampp from SourceForge, and then in the terminal I created /opt directory like this:

mkdir /opt

sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz -C/opt

and this error shows up:

tar (child): xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Example your xampp files in Downloads directory.

cd Downloads



sudo -s



tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz -C /opt

After install xampp you will get permission denied error. Therefore to fix this, run the following code in terminal.

sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs/

Run the following command in terminal to start lampp,

/opt/lampp/lampp start
