my background:
I decided I wanted to give linux a try, and I had a laptop laying around to experiment with, puppy seemed nice to begin with. I also want to learn to work with php, and one of the manuals i aquired spoke about installing apache on a linux/unix based system.
my problem: i have no idea where to start with the installing. I'm only used to windows installing. I downloaded the newest apache version.
I hope someone will help me, or direct me to a usefull thread. I tried using the search function but that didn't really help.
trying to install apache on puppy
go to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html
click on the link to download Xampp
download Xampp ... best way is probably to open an console window and type:
cd /opt
wget -c http://url-to/xampp-linux-1.5.4a.tar.gz
(use the correct url, of course)
type:
tar xzf xampp-linux-1.5.4a.tar.gz
(you can just type a few letters of the file, then press the tab key)
Xampp is now installed
