Here is a little script that may help you out if you want to start LAMPP as a service on linux using chkconfig and service commands.

Place the following code in “/etc/init.d/” with the file name “lampp” and make sure it is executable.

#!/bin/sh
#
# author: william ruckman ruckman.net
#
# chkconfig: 2345 98 83
#
# description: Starts and stops the LAMPP Server
#
# processname: lampp

# Source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = “no” ] && exit 0

RETVAL=0
# See how we were called.
