LAMPP redhat9 HELP Please

I have been trying to set up a linux web server and keep getting something messed up. I found LAMPP and thought maybe it would work, but the first step of the install (after downloading the files) does not work.

tar xvfc lampp-0.9.9a.tar.gz -C /opt

Returns this

tar: you may not specify more than one '-Acdtrux' option
Try 'tar --help' for more information


I am going from the install instructions here:

http://www.apachefriends.org/lampp-en.html

I am a windows user and new to linux. I tryed ommitting the "-C /opt" at the end but that of course installed it in the wrong directory and it would not work.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Cash

the f option must be the last one since it means file and refers to the file to untar. And you are using the c option.

-c, --create create a new archive

tar xvzf lampp-0.9.9a.tar.gz -C /opt is what you should be using.

Hey just checked that url you posted, wth?

Step 2: Installation

After downloading simply type in the following commands:

1. Get a Linux shell and become the system administrator root:

su

2. Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:

tar xvfz lampp-0.9.9a.tar.gz -C /opt

Warning: already installed LAMPP versions get overwritten by this command.

That's all. LAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp directory.


Huh? its got it right there.....

Sorry I thought I had deleted this post.. this was a very stupid mistake... I was putting that c there instead of a z... I now have it installed, but am having problems getting my scripts to run.

Still working on that
