Use `export VARNAME="VARVALUE"` to set an environment value in bash.

Also, unless you /need/ to use Apache ANT for something, I suggest installing Lighttpd instead. Wizzup uses it, so it must be good!

You're on ubuntu, why not just write apt-get install apache2

Well clearly I'm missing something because I thought ant was just a make alternative that's cross-platform. :P

sudo apt-get install python26 maybe? Looks like you don't have Python..

This worked thnx, but now i have another problem... cant figure out where i web files with lamp.
but atleast i can see its working in localhost.



Even tough i cant find the example site it does work as you can see here:


BUT i can also not stop it neither can i launch the xampp panel, and i get a bunch of errors if i run any command, this is those i get when i start lamp server:

And i must say i understand really little out of this, my linux knowledge is really bad :P

Why are you using XAMPP..?

# apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 mysql mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

I don't know where your files are with XAMPP, but most likely /var/www/htdocs/ or ~/public_html/ or something....

Right now for educational purposes.

Have you found your document root.....?

[cycrosism]

It should be on /var/www

mark@M:~$ cd /var/www/
mark@M:/var/www$ ls
index.html
mark@M:/var/www$

[Sex]

It should be on /var/www

/opt/lampp/htdocs/

[tom99]

www is not in lamp/var, but i see the htdocs folder.
so is it in htdocs you put your webfiles ? if so where in the folder ?

nevermind i found the www folder, it was in root/var/

No, he had CR's in his script. (^M) CR's must die.

And don't use that LAMP crap, just install all the applications separately or you'll never understand how it works.

Yes i am going to go trough all the steps again in a new wm after seeing to much errors witch is not supose to be there common indeed.
But why not use lamp is this a bad solution if i want to host a website ?
strange thing is (atleast for me) super easy to do in windows, and that make me wonder how much harder can it be in linux
