Find the Microsoft-Edge protocol and change it to EdgeDeflector. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Default apps and click Choose default apps by protocol at the bottom. If you dismiss this dialog or it doesnt appear, youll need to configure EdgeDeflector manually. I need to set a path I am guessing (not quite sure how) then run "Ampps" with root permissions. Choose EdgeDeflector, check Always use this app, and hit OK. The first way does start Apache and MySQL and the second way does not. To get Ampps working I have to first run Ait in the Lxde desktop so I can right click the tray icon and configure Ampps to start Apache and MySQL when Ampps starts. It is not the same as sudo /usr/local/ampps/Ampps If I start Ampps with cd /usr/local/ampps/ To make matters more complicated I ran into a strange behavior with Ampps (Ampps is a mess on linux). Still sorting out what the syntax for a script should look like.

Apparently you can run a script at startup with by placing a script in the "/etc/cron.d/" folder.

I put the following into a file named "nf" (used the wiki name suggestion) and placed it the /etc/lightdm/ folder ĭisplay-setup-script=/usr/local/ampps/AmppsĪlso tried "greeter-setup-script" but nothing.Īlso looked into crontab, now that is one confusing little feature. Anyone know what that means? I am not even sure if my change to lighdm, ran. Well the desktop loaded but Ampps did not. The Ubuntu's wiki for Lightdm basically says, if you screwup, the desktop won't load. I think Lightdm could be the answer but I can't get any results. Putting a *.conf script in /ect/init/ resulted in a permission denied error, and as that occurred during boot I am fairly certain that based on how Ampps is setup that is not where it should run. looked at crontab (little confused as of yet on this one)Īnd apparently there is few other options.lightdm using "display-setup-script" and "greeter-setup-script".I am guessing it is matter of just automatically stating Apache and MySQL at boot, but then again I am not sure if that is enough for the system to handle directing the requests to the correct folder.īeen trying to track down a solution, I have tried:
Ampps setup how to#
And explaining how to start Ampps on Ubuntu to your average PC user is never going to work out. I figure I will leave the PC running but a power failure, or some other issue, is bound to occur on the day I am a 100 miles from the office, and no one will be able to use the app. Ampps will be used to use host a local Web app for my families business, and I need Ampps to start when Ubuntu starts, always. Been hacking my way through getting Ampps to work on Ubuntu.
