Ive installed it fine on my Linux box! I don't use WAMP or XAMP , In my opinion it sucks, Rather install Debian or Ubuntu/Server on A spare PC/LAP or on some visualizer, like VirtualBox and then run these commands
when installed the OS from ISO to your visualizer
Follow these commands in shell$
Code:
sudo apt-get update
hit y and enter when asked
Code:
sudo apt-get install apache2
hit y and enter when asked
Code:
sudo apt-get install php5
hit y and enter when asked
Code:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
hit y and enter when asked
When prompted,enter a new password in, you will be asked 3 times
Code:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
hit y and enter when asked
Enter password you used my mysql
Please guys its so easy and so much better then Wamp or XAMP
Php and company works so much better on Linux.
