English Network/Internet

Hello,
i’m a newbie in opensuse
i have opensuse 11.3 .
i tried to install xampp but i have problems

when i try to extract the downloaded archive file to /opt with the command line

tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt

i have an error message :

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

then when i want to start xampp server with
/opt/lampp/lampp start

it didn’t work because the file lampp does not exists in /opt/lampp

the command line ls /opt/lampp/ gives

ls -al /opt/lampp/
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 août 1 2009 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 août 9 22:48 …

So balha, I don’t know anything about xampp, but you would need root permissions to write to the /opt folder. If you are using KDE desktop, you could use the menu Run Command kdesu in front of your tar command. You must enter the root user password and then your command runs as root.

Thank You,

thx for the answer
i don’t think that it’s root permission problem ! because i logged in as root !
i will try kdesu command
