How can I start xampp? After the installation there was no shortcut created on the desctop, now I am unable to find it. I am using the latest XAMPP for Linux 5.6.30, 7.0.15 & 7.1.1

The panel started right after the installation, but I am unable to find out how to start the panel after I closed it.

I read in some other topic to execute this command:

sudo /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel

But this fails with:

 sudo /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "xampp-control-panel.py", line 18, in <module>
    import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

I also tried to search for xampp, but nothing relevant found:

UPDATE:

/opt/lampp

UPDATE:

I also tried to start xampp from the terminal like this:

root@ubuntu:/opt/lampp$ ./xampp panel

But then the xampp help page shows in the terminal and no GUI is starting:

Im seeing this error while trying to open phpmyadmin (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin) :

`New XAMPP security concept:

 Access to the requested object is only available from the local network.
 This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

 If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

 Error 403
 xser.com

Edit:

I have commented out this code in "httpd-xampp.conf"., but it has introduced a new problem.

# New XAMPP security concept

Now Im seeing this --

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

I am very new to Ubuntu and I still don't understand a lot of basic concepts so please bear with me.

I successfully installed XAMPP 1.7.4 in my ubuntu 11.04. The XAMPP is installed in /opt/lampp. I know how to write php file in /opt/lampp/htdocs using the bash terminal command sudo gedit /opt/lampp/htdocs/myphpfile.php but what if I already have an existing php file inside a folder? Of course I don't want to write it again using sudo command. All I want to do is copy that folder that contains the php files inside htdocs like I always do in Windows WAMP. Is there a command in which I could set the /opt folder to writeable? Please help me.
