This solution worked for me on previous Ubuntu versions, but not this time. To solve this, there are 2 posible solutions, both of them start by doing sudo apt-get updateĪfter this, you can install the ia32-lib package Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system. We get the following error XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. But when we try to start our XAMPP server using sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start


sudo wget Īfter that you need to extract the files from the tar, so we follow the process described for the XAMPP installation guide sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz -C /opt After getting the virtual machine up and running, the first step I did was to download the latest XAMPP version from the Apache friends website. I’ll assume that you already have the virtual machine created I chose an Ubuntu Server 13.04 instance from the gallery. But this time was not as straightforward as on my previous experiences, so then this is how I did it. Recently I needed to set up some web applications that I preferred to run on Linux, and for that I prefer to use XAMPP because of the simplicity of the installation process. But for good or bad, your virtual machine will be fresh, so you need to work on setting up whatever you need to get to work. One of the many great things about Windows Azure is how easy you can create a virtual machine, no matter the OS of your preference.
