Hi,

/opt/xampp/xampp start

Did you try this?


hi
i have installed it yet i cant even run its sh file
Hi,

You are facing problem in this step:


Go to a shell, become root, and start the downloaded file as a shell script:

sh xampp-solaris-0.9.sh

right?

What do you get after this on the terminal?
it says there is no associated thing to run this application now i clicked enter twice it was about to run then it but then it caught the following error
# /opt/xampp/xampp start
/opt/xampp/xampp: not found
# /Desktop/xampp-solaris-0.9.sh
/Desktop/xampp-solaris-0.9.sh: cannot execute
# sh /Desktop/xampp-solaris-0.9.sh
Do you want to install XAMPP? (answer 'no' or press Ctrl+C to abort installation)
[yes] yes
Checking integrity of XAMPP files... (this may take a moment)
/Desktop/xampp-solaris-0.9.sh: /tmp/xampp-md5sum-832: cannot execute
MD5 checksum failed: XAMPP files corrupt.

Hi,

The error shows that your downloading is failed or corrupted. Please try again downloading and follow the procedure.
i have even downloaded from windows but it has failed another time i will try again and get back to you
hi
i even tried older version it has still given the same message
still the same problem what else can i do with it
Hi,

/Desktop/xampp-solaris-0.9.sh: /tmp/xampp-md5sum-832: cannot execute
MD5 checksum failed: XAMPP files corrupt.

means that the file you have downloaded is corrupted or its not properly downloaded.

If you getting again and again this error, then the file in the downloading location may be corrupted.

So try another location:

http://www.freewarefiles.com/XAMPP_program_17696.html

or:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/jsp/descFile.jsp?url=descAll/xampp_for_solaris


Hope this will help you.
Hi,

hi
