Can someone tell me why I need to install xampp on ubuntu? I went to synaptic and got mysql and php installed. I went to http://localhost and it said "it works." Where is the folder where I can my html files?
My goal is to install phpbb3 which requires mysql and php, which I already have. I only see phpbb2 in ubuntu and not phpbb3.
I did go here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976550 but it doesn't seem to have answers to my questions.
I read it more carefully and think this helps:
"Installing LAMP is easy. Go in System > Administration > Synaptic, under edit select 'Mark packages by task. Then select the LAMP server and you are done."
Synaptics doesn't show LAMP as some people say it would be there. Please advise my next step.
Thanks.
