Here I am discussing some tips after installing the XAMPP in Ubuntu (or any version of GNU/Linux). Currently, XAMPP is available for all the major operating system (GNU/Linux Distributions, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, and MacOS X). The program is released under the GNU license and acts as a free web server, it easy to use and able to interpret dynamic pages. The name comes from the abbreviation of X (for any of the different operating systems), Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl. Once installed, you can visit to use the web interface. With that done, you will want to decide which GUI to install. It may take a couple of minutes for the process to complete. To do so, run: sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade. For example, you can start and stop MariaDB and Apache, and install content management systems. This will ensure you get the latest, most stable version of the desktop environment you choose to install.
After that, you can control the installed components. XAMPP is an independent server platform, which consists mainly of the MySQL database (now MariaDB), the Apache web server and interpreters for scripting languages: PHP and Perl. Open the terminal and type the following command: xampp start.
