Q&A for How to Install XAMPP on Linux

By default you should put it on /opt/lampp/htdocs/. You can create a folder inside it and execute php files via localhost/{folder_name}/{file_name}

Make sure Apache is running first in the dashboard, then you should be able to access phpmyadmin.

You can access it by changing the "localhost" part of "localhost/foldername/" to your computer IP (ex: 192.xxx.x.xxx/foldername) at your local network.

You may be installing the wrong version. The latest XAMPP installations are for x64 computers. Your computer may actually be x32. If you go to the Sourceforge website XAMPP page, you can look for a version that does not have x64 in the title and download that version. That is what I had to do after I got that syntax error message; I downloaded the the latest x32 version and it worked.

Fedora is a Linux distro; therefore, you can easily follow the same steps as above and successfully install XAMPP.

You forgot to run XAMPP server with sudo. Sudo temporarily runs commands as root, and you ran XAMPP as a normal user that does not have access.

That is happening because that is not the right line of code to use. Here is the right code: ./manager-lampp-x64.run.

You will need to make the partition that XAMPP is being installed to larger, install to a different drive/partition (on Windows), delete unnecessary files and try again, or buy a larger disk drive for your computer and clone your operating system to it.
