After trying to install Apache, MySQL and PHP on Ubuntu 8.10 via several methods listed over the web. I opted for xampp package for linux.
It is as easy as ABC
Download the xampp linux package from their official website
wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xampp/xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz
(I have selected NCHC, Taiwan as the mirror to download this package, you may try another)
Extract the files
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt
Chmod the files to have nobody ownership
sudo chown -R nobody:root /opt/lampp/
Configure xampp security
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp security
Start xampp with this command
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Stop xampp
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
Restart xampp
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart
Login to ftp using the username nobody and the password that you have set up in the “xampp security”
To uninstall xampp
sudo rm -fr /opt/lampp
Enjoy!!
