problem installing Xampp on Fedora14
 

I'm trying to install Xampp on my virtual Fedora 14 desktop.
When I open the terminal, sign in as administrator, and yum install Xampp I repeatedly get the message, "Child returned status 2, setting up Install Process, no package Xampp available"
I get the same message after I download from a different mirror.

I don't think the Xampp people offer an RPM. Download and extract the *.tar.gz file and follow the instructions on their website (basically, extract it to /opt: tar -xvzf [filename].tar.gz -C /opt.

Welcome to LQ.

QUOTE : Basically you should choose not to use XAMPP.
XAMPP is not fit for public exposure or production use.

Also : You probably already have some of the tools installed,
they may even be running ? ( Apache, Mysql and FTP daemons ? )
