This article will guide you on how to work with #XAMPP in Linux Mint 20. This will help you to easily host your #applications on this server. With this, you can create a simple PHP application, however, you can even choose to create applications with complex functionality that are not essentially written in #PHP but can also be written in Perl or #MySQL.
XAMPP is a powerful and versatile solution for setting up a local web server. It presents a perfect way to create an environment for basic #WordPress coding, experimenting with multisite settings, tweaking #themes, and much more.
