以非管理员身份安装XAMPP

Question

I need to install xampp as a normal user and run PHP server with a non-default port.

I have changed the 'Listen 80' in ~/lampp/etc/httpd.conf to another port.

But when i start it using ~/lampp/lampp start, it complains

You need to start XAMPP as root!

Is there any way to run this without root login ?

Answer 1

You need to install xampp as root, but you can run as normal user.

Here is the step by step guides for the same.
