I got xampp-linux-1.7.4 working on CentOS 6.2 64bit by:
yum install -y glibc*i686
and didn’t have to comment out the line in lampp

Thanks,

Its works on my Ubuntu Linux 10.04.3.

Would it be stable ? Cause it seems that we are forcing a 32bit software under 64bit OS.
Any one found problem after this ?
For me running this tips on production server little bit risky,… but i’ve no other option.
Suggestion are welcome at hum4nb31ng[at]gmail(dot)com.

Thanks

what i did is i just commented the code which is at /opt/lampp/lampp file line number 78 to 90 and ran the command form terminal “sudo apt-get install ia32-libs” .

now everything is working fine!!

Thanks.

Worked for me on Linux Mint Debian Edition amd64, after dropping xampp at /opt I ran

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

and change ownership of htdocs/

$ sudo chown username:username -Rv /opt/lampp/htdocs

(just replace username by your own) Then we should grant the httpd permissions to write in those directories, so execute a

$ gksu gedit /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf

or the editor of your choice and look for the lines

User nobody
Group nogroup

edit the first one and replace nobody with your username. Leave Group as is. Then we should restart the apache server with

$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

and after restarted point a browser to http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php and you get everything running up!

A last Note: After getting apache running you still can receive an error like ‘Existing configuration file (./config.inc.php) is not readable.’ when browsing to phpmyadmin. To fix this just change ownership of this file:

$ sudo chown username:username /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

replacing username by yours. Thanks to Codex-M and his guide to do it for Ubuntu at devshed.com

@Flip Tell you what guys. I'll load up the current ubuntu 11 build and see what I can do. There seems to be a lot of demand for this.

Seems like this wont be working for me either. I am having the same issue as Andrew did. All lib’s updated, etc..

Unfortunately this does not seem to work on Ubuntu 10.4. Great find though!
