[ubuntu-in] LAMP versus XAMP

[Ninad Pundalik]

Hi Ram,

Dumb questions first: Have you checked if the MySQL/MariaDB processes
are running? Also, I am guessing that you've already checked the
minimum requirements listed on the Joomla Install guides?

Do Ubuntu's repositories have a XAMPP meta-package? If that is the
case, synaptic/apt should take care of removing the conflicting
versions from the lamp-server tasksel configuration. If XAMPP comes
bundled with everything, I think you are in for a lot of work.
