Re: I installed XAMPP on my linux box properly

lol.

find a file called my.cnf

in that file find a variable called basedir

change the path to /opt/lampp/var/mysql

if this doesn't work i suggest you start over from scratch.  start a new thread.  tell me what distro you're using and i'll walk you though it.  if you're ever in boston you will have to buy me a beer!
