The primary answer didn't work for me until I did something from followed of this example which states: I believe that you want to add a GUI xampp control panel. To add a GUI xampp control panel see below. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below: sudo gedit ~/.local/share/applications/xampp-control-panel.desktop When the text editor opens simply paste the following, close and save. [Desktop Entry] Comment=Start and Stop XAMPP Name=XAMPP Control Panel Exec=sudo -i python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/24/network-wired.svg Encoding=UTF-8 Terminal=false Name=XAMPP Control Panel Comment=Start and Stop XAMPP Type=Application Icon=/usr/share/icons/Humanity/devices/24/network-wired.svg If you have a problem with executing the program, install gksu, and in the forth line, replace sudo -i with gksudo. Below is how to install gksu if not installed, since it has been removed from 13.04. sudo apt-get install gksu Look for xampp control panel in dash I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and Xampp 5.6.3.Then I was able to use what the primary answerer posted. This is the code quote from Kyusuf Muhammad: You can use the command below if you use 32 system : sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux.run if you use 64 system: sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run shareimprove this answer edited Nov 29 '14 at 8:34 answered Nov 29 '14 at 8:27 HelpNeeder 3071521
