xampp-linux questions help.

[Ind-PC_student]

Hello fellow mechers I have a few questions regarding xampp-linux-1.5.5a:

after installing this application on the /opt folder mof my mandrivalinux system and activating the eacceletation extension I am trying to find my proftpD control panel

My questions are:

is there a control panel for proftpd?

how do I change the user name "nobody" to another?

what other reccomendation do you have for my xampp installation?

thank you for your time.

Wouldn't it be easier, and more stable, to just install the same software xampp installs from the Mandriva software library?

For me it would not, because it would defeat the purpose of learning advanced skills set, and of course I followed the faq's wich i have printed from the website.

I also add it was not that dificult to install with this code on the terminal window:

tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt

Not that dificult I also have to point out this system does not have a working internet connection in linux it is much easier for me to update through that system & yes it does work offline for testing.

Thank you for your reply, although is not the answer I am looking for.

Nearly forgot i find the xampp splash control panel easier to use:

Open firefox and type in the url field "localhost/xampp" that is all.
