If you are installing xampp first time on your linux system then it is fine but if you have installed it before and there is directory lampp in your /opt. You should rename it first.

# mv /opt/lampp /opt/lampp_old

Now download xampp installer from here.

A file xampp-linux-version-number-installer.run will be downloaded.

Suppose it is in directory Downloads.

Make the file executable.

# chmod a+x ~/Downloads/xampp-linux-version-number-installer.run

Now run the file.

# cd ~/Downloads
# ./xampp-linux-version-number-installer.run

It will open the wizard, now complete it to install xampp.

 

 

 

 

Now when you click on finish button, XAMPP's GUI interface will be appeared.

Now you can start/stop Apache & mysql using UI interface. Click on 'Manage servers' and you will be able to start/stop servers using buttons.

Open xampp in Browser

If you are trying to download packages using terminal and you are facing this error, check these things first.

If you are using proxy, proxy address should be defined in these files.
1) check /etc/apt/apt.conf file for proxy
2) check /etc/environment file for proxy

If you are not using proxy, make sure proxy settings should be removed from above files.

If above files are according to requirement and you are still facing this problem, try this solution.

Open file /etc/resolv.conf, add following line in the file and save it.
nameserver 8.8.8.8

8.8.8.8 is google's public DNS address.

Now restart networking and try to install packages again.

Install ssh on Ubuntu/Debian

ssh (secure shell)

         ssh (SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine.  It is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.  X11 connections and arbitrary TCP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

  ssh connects and logs into the specified hostname (with optional user name).  The user must prove his/her identity to the remote machine using one of several methods depending on the protocol version used (see below).

Install ssh on Ubuntu/Debian

Run following command in terminal

# apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client

Start and stop the ssh service

# service ssh start

&

# service ssh stop

Automatically start the service at boot

# chkconfig ssh on

Check status of ssh

# service ssh status

Check port 22 is opened or not
Run following command

# netstat -tulnp | grep :22

Output should be like this

tcp        0   0 0.0.0.0:22            0.0.0.0:*       LISTEN      9657/sshd              
tcp        0      0 :::22                 :::*              LISTEN      9657/sshd
