I am in the process of setting up a Linux-based AMPPS LAMP box for local web development needs before the projects go live. I have been following this installation guide for AMPPS website, on a fresh install of CentOS: https://www.ampps.com/wiki/Installing_AMPPS_on_Linux#Important_Locations
The following is stated in the instructions:
First Run of AMPPS When you run AMPPS for the first time make sure your Internet connection is active. Note: AMPPS doesn't support proxy yet. So you must have a Direct Internet Connection.
Now open /usr/local/ampps/Ampps from Explorer, this will take some time as it is setting up AMPPS for your Linux. If you are using Ubuntu OS then you have to start Ampps from terminal with sudo privilege.
cd /usr/local/ampps
sudo ./Ampps
Upon entering ./Ampps in as root, the terminal returns the following:
./Ampps: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
I have done a little of a search and turned up basic fixes, such as:
yum install libXrender.so.1
Even with the libraries installed, it is throwing the same error.
How can I fix this?
This seemed to do the trick guys, Thanks anyways :D
$ yum groupinstall "X Window System" "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "Fonts"
