Apps :: XAMPP how to start?

Hi! Thanks for answering. I´m sorry but I don´t know what to do. What I did now is: - add user root, - su root,- install xampp again,- change to /opt/lampp,- command "lampp start",- result: "bash: lamp: command not found".
Only when starting "ATerminal" new and command-line is "dsl@box:$. I change to "/opt/lamp" and start "lampp start", I got the message "You need to start XAMPP as root". In all other cases I got the message "command not found".
I don´t now what to do/ happens.- The installation guide for Xampp seems easy, but not for me and my system!?!?
I´ve installed my system not for multiuser.

Root is already a user; no need to create it.

You should not be logged in as root to install mydsl extensions, and extracting them as a way to install is also not a good idea. Use the mydsl icon or the command "mydsl-load /path/to/app", as user dsl.

You seem to have completely misunderstood (or ignored?) what ^thehatsrule^ said to you, since you seem to have gone in a different direction.

You must learn some of the basics of Linux. It looks like the problem you are having relates mostly with having little concept of permissions and PATH. Hopefully you installed DSL as a frugal system rather than a fully writable harddrive install, or I'd say you've probably already damaged your system.

Hi! Thanks for answering. I think now I´ve got it. Xampp is running. - Now I have to look about importing my Side who is using odbc-connections at a win-PC with xampp. Which files must be copied into which path on the new system?
