Sorry, let me rephrase. I want to run xampp (apache php mysql ftp, perl ++ module) on my ubuntu lucid linux box. I prefer this setup for my work environment. But for some reason, xampp apache doesnt work and yet the dis it is not installed by default. What might be the problem? The status command gives the following;
bw...@bwogi-laptop:~$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp status > [sudo] password for bwogi: > Version: XAMPP for Linux 1.5.5a > Apache is not running. > MySQL is not running. > ProFTPD is not running.
