lgc93 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm currently on Chapter 4 of the PHP course and I'm having problems following up everything since I'm using ubuntu linux instead of a mac or windows pc. As a result, I can't install MAMP and I've had to try a couple of alternatives (LAMP and XAMPP) but neither seem to be similar enough to the MAMP that Stef uses in his videos (LAMP doesn't seem to have a user interface at all and XAMPP doesn't have a simple user friendly UI like MAMP does, which allows you to search files , like Stef does in lesson 2 chapt. 4 in order to find php.ini). Is there a better MAMP alternative for ubuntu? Also, when I search my computer, I have 3 different php.ini files in the following directories: /opt/lampp/etc /etc/php/7.0/apache2 /etc/php/7.0/cli Which one of the three am I meant to modify so that I can enable error messages? All of them have restricted writing permissions ("You are not the owner so you cannot change these permissions"). Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

lgc93 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 UPDATE: Ok, it's fine now, I've managed to fix it, turns out I was modifying the wrong part of the document, I have now activated the displaying of errors! If anyone has any tips on a good ubuntu alternative for MAMP that is as close as possible to the original one, that would still be great, but otherwise it's all fine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafid Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi, I've had some issue too at the beginning because of using Linux but found a good tuto on how to configure LAMP on Ubuntu : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04 Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
