How to start XAMPP in my browser after installing it successfully

I followed this link to install XAMPP on my machine: XAMMP for Linux. I can't open XAMPP in my browser, but I'm getting the 404 errror i.e

Not Found

The requested URL /xampp/index.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

Can anyone help me to find out the error.

Solution 1:

The command for starting the server is:

$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Source here:

apache friends - xampp for linux

Start command: $ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

If you want XAMPP to start automatically when you logon to the system:
Open terminal and run following command sudo gedit /etc/init.d/lampp

paste following code in open file

#!/bin/bash
/opt/lampp/lampp start

save and close the file

run following command to make this script executable
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/lampp

run following command to install init scripts to all runlevel

sudo update-rc.d lampp defaults

restart the system
