Greetings:
I have win 7 ultimate with wamp server installed on it,
Also Virtualbox with ubuntu as guest .
I would like to install Xamp on guest (ubuntu).
Is it possible to do that? do I have to consider a new port for Xamp? Is there issues to be taken care of?
thanks ahead

And as to WAMP for Linux that's a LAMP. Let's try to get the terms clear here but yes it can be done but may be challenging the first time. As there are so many tutorials out there I pause here.
wamp is on host which is win 7 ultimate.
I want to install Xampp on guest which is ubuntu.
I did not know Lamp server is for ubuntu os, I am new with Linux.
so forexample wamp server can not be installed on ubuntu?
thank you.
Kian William
ok, thank you,
yet I shall install Xampp on ubuntu.
port for server on guest should not be necessary different from the port of wamp on host, It is another OS , a guest OS on Virtual Box. If I am wrong, kindly let me know.

To get a WAMP running on a Linux host you would install VirtualBox and a Windows in that virtual machine. Why? Because WAMP is "Windows Apache MySQL PHP" or WAMP. If you have moved to a LAMP (Linux etc.) then you wouldn't need Windows for the WAMP.
Exactly, Wamp is for windows and Lamp for Linux.
and Xampp Cross-Platform Apache MySql PHP and Perl.
I am willing to install Xampp on Ubuntu (guest) instead of Lamp,
what you think?
Kian William
I see you are getting down with the terminology and know what you want to install now.
Many Linux distros are ready to use as a LAMP.
