A quick google search got me here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Solaris/

It's a bit of a horror show.  The script unpacks its own gzip and md5sum
binaries, and the binaries seem to be for SPARC.  Weirdly, it relies on
the system's tar, awk, and uudecode, but draws the line at gzip and md5sum.

And the script doesn't bother to check whether you're on SPARC or x86
before trying to run those binaries, nor does the web site mention
anything about the application being (inexplicably) SPARC-only.  I can
see how someone might be tricked by this.

I think the right answer is for the original poster to contact the
maintainer of this "very easy to install" [sic] software and ask how one
makes it work.  My guess is that this is really built for your old E450
running Solaris 8, and not so much for a modern system.

(On that note, I'm not sure why the original poster wants to install
this stuff.  It claims to be a copy of Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and
some other things ... all of which already come with or are much more
easily available in OpenSolaris.  Even if this could be installed, it
looks like something that would be a maintenance nightmare.)
