In Linux OS, in the past this software was called LAMPP but to avoid misconceptions we renamed it to “XAMPP for Linux”. So if you are seeking for LAMPP you’re on the right track.

Here you can take a look at step by step of a XAMPP installation.

1. Download.
   A complete list of downloads (older versions) is available at SourceForge.
2. Installation
   After downloading simply type in the following commands:
   • Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:
     su
   • Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:
     tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt
3. Start
   To start XAMPP simply call this command:
   /opt/lampp/lampp start
   Ready. Apache and MySQL are running.
4. Test
   OK, that was easy but how can you check that everything really works? Just type in the following URL at your favourite web browser:
   http://localhost
   Now you should see the start page of XAMPP containing some links to check the status of the installed software and some small programming examples.

Now, I will give you some tips to change the site favicon in your joomla CMS framework.

1. Create a 16×16 pixel image. You may use graphic software such as Photoshop, Windows Paint or you can search it from google search engine.
2. Convert to ico format using free online sites such as converticon.com, favicongenerator.com, favicon.cc.
3. The file you created in this way will have the extension “.ico”. Upload the file to the /joomla/templates/<your template> hosting directory and name it favicon.ico
4. Open a browser. Do you see your new icon? If so, congratulations.
5. If this doesn’t work you will need to delete the temporary internet files and the history and then open your page again.

Below is the correct setting :

Configure through PhpMyadmin

1. Open your PhpMyadmin.
2. Go to Privilages tab.
3. Click edit privilages on the user that you want to use.
4. Choose any host at the host combo box.
5. Click go to save it.

Configure through mysql command:

1. Login to your mysql.
2. And then run the script below:

CREATE USER 'root'@'%';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;

Done! Try to access it!

Sebenarnya ini tergantung dari settingan php dalam server kita. Lebih tepatnya settingan ini terdapat dalam file php.ini. Jika kita menggunakan xampp file ini terdapat dalam directory “xampp\apache\bin\php.ini”.

Agar kita bisa melakukan open tag dengan <?php ataupun dengan <? lakukan settingan seperti dibawah ini

1. Buka file php.ini
2. Cari string “short_open_tag”
3. Jika anda menemukan string “;short_open_tag” di awali dengan titik koma. Lakukan terus pencarian sampai ditemukan string “short_open_tag”.
4. Setelah menemukan string tersebut ganti short_open_tag = off menjadi short_open_tag = on
5. Selesai. Restart server PHP.

Manfaat settingan ini adalah sebagai berikut.

Misal jika kita ingin mencetak variable $x kitabiasanya menggunakan echo seperti dibawah ini.
<?php
echo $x;
?>

Tapi jika kita sudah melakukan setting seperti cara diatas kita bisa melakukan print variabel $x dengan cara sebagai berikut :
<?=$x?>
