Translated from the FAQ:
First, you have to find out what default runlevel your system is booting.

Code: Select all

egrep :initdefault: /etc/inittab

Mostly this will be 3 or 5.

Change to the directory that configures your runlevel, e.g if your runlevel is 3, change (command: cd) into /etc/rc.d/rc3.d

Now symlink /opt/lampp/lampp to S99lampp and K01lampp

Code: Select all

ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp S99lampp
ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp K01lampp

Now XAMPP for Linux should be started on every boot.

so i edit this file ( /etc/inittab ) with the symlink code ( ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp S99lampp
ln -s /opt/lampp/lampp K01lampp )

You don't have to edit anything, just symlink /opt/lampp/lampp to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99lampp and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01lampp

Another way of accomplishing autoboot--since Red Hat 9.0's server installation already has an older version of Apache, MySQL, and usually an FTP program running:

1) go to /etc/rc.d/init.d as root

2) move the httpd, mysqld, and whatever the FTP version you are running (in my case it was vsftpd) to somewhere else (I put them in the root directory just to get them out of the way).

3) do

cp /opt/lampp/lampp ./

4) restart the server (shutdown -r now)

That's it.... worked nicely for me.
