error executing the xampp binary file

Post by lilo.lilo13 » 2015/03/05 07:06:04

Hello,
I want to make a web server using xampp,so I installed Centos 6.5 64 bit as a virtual machine using vmware workstation 9 given that my system is windows 7 home premium 64 bit and the virtualization is enabled. after installation I downloaded the file xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-5-installer.run from sourceforge and then I opened the terminal and typed:
sudo chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run
sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run
after the second line an error shows up: cannot execute binary file
what's wrong?

You should probably use the CentOS supplied versions of all those packages and then they will be kept up to date against all the most recent security vulnerabilities. The correct way to install packages on CentOS is by using e.g. yum install httpd mysql-server php
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
