I downloaded and installed XAMPP for Linux. I could browse to localhost and got the text screen “It works”. I think I should have seen the XAMPP graphics screen. I also found out I already had mysql-server 5.5.31. So XAMPP had a problem installing sql-server.

I uninstalled the mysql-server 5.5.31 using Ubuntu Software Center and started researching where to install a new sql-server that XAMPP could use. This is when I realized I was screwed!

Upon browsing my file system, I found the XAMPP installed path at /opt/lampp. This path included /var/mysql, /var/perl, /var/proftpd, /var/run. I also found the path /etc/apache2 and /run/apache2 (which was empty) and /run/mysqld (which only had 2 files in it). And I also found /var/www (which had the index.html that localhost loaded).

I am a little lost... I can stop XAMPP and when I start it again I get the text:
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.8.1...
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
XAMPP for Linux started.

How do I clean this up?

My goal is to install Joomla! and develop my website on my local machine instead of doing my developing on the host server. I need to upgrade Joomla because my site was hacked and Google just shut it down. I want to install a new template and give the unhacked backup site I have a facelift.

The hack must have been through the legacy Joomla I was running because all my PW's are 12 characters with caps, lowercase, numbers and special characters.

Thanx

My wordpress installation got hacked an hour ago by someone claiming to be Albanian Lulz hackers.
The offending item was called lummzshell.php and was added as an index page, a post, a favicon and a file in my upload folder.

I replaced the installation with a back up, but have yet to get my favicon to reset.
I've looked in the usual places and have tried a WP plugin to over write it, but no joy.

I notice that on SG, you cannot put php directives in .htaccess files - doing so causes the entire website to bug out. Placing directives in localised php.ini files appears to work OK.

On a default setup of Debian Squeeze and php 5.3.3.7, the reverse is true, you can put php directives in .htaccess but it simply ignores any php.ini except the master one. Despite a lot of reading and testing I can't find any way to make it recognise localized php.ini files, even though the documentation seems to suggest it should.

Basically I need to harmonize my local test server and the SG hosting so they work the same. I don't care which approach is applied (.htaccess or php.ini) so long as it works for both.
