I think it is easier for LAMP installation than xampp yes.
But still cannot recommend those who are used to xampp to swich to LAMP totally since I still could not find a few other functions that is equivalent to

1. /opt/lampp/lampp security
2. security status check

More Important I cannot get fully "installed Zencart" to work at all. Please help, what went wrong, I don't know.

from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...highlight=LAMP
I have install LAMP and PHPmyAdmin using

sudo tasksel
then >scroll down to select "lamp server" option, and then go to next step to install phpmyadmin

or
sudo tasksel install lamp-server

then

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

If everything work successful,
http://localhost
you should get

"It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet."

and
http://localhost/phpmyadmin

should bring up the "phpmyadmin control page or panel"

and you can install Zencart in /var/www
by using the following command lines

sudo mv /var/www/zencart/admin/includes/dist-configure.php /var/www/zencart/admin/includes/configure.php
sudo mv /var/www/zencart/includes/dist-configure.php /var/www/zencart/includes/configure.php

cd /var/www/

sudo chmod -R 777 ./zencart

cd zencart

sudo chmod -R 777 ./cache
sudo chmod -R 777 ./pub
sudo chmod -R 777 ./images
sudo chmod -R 777 ./includes/languages/english/html_includes
sudo chmod -R 777 ./media
sudo chmod -R 777 ./pub
sudo chmod -R 777 ./admin/backups
sudo chmod -R 777 ./admin/images/graphs
sudo chmod 777 ./includes/configure.php
sudo chmod 777 ./admin/includes/configure.php

then
http://localhost/zencart

and follow the normal installation instruction on the screens.
untill I get

: Zen Cart™ Setup - Finished
Congratulations!
You have successfully installed Zen Cart™ on your system!

http://localhost/zencart/
http://localhost/zencart/index.php
http://localhost/zencart/admin/

produced blank white pages.
I cannot install Zencart in LAMP_Ubuntu

I try blindly with
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite

gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite

sudo a2dissite default && sudo a2ensite mysite

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

To test the new site, create a file in /home/user/public_html/:

echo '<b>Hello! It is working!</b>' > /var/www/zencart/index.html

http://localhost/zencart
produce
Hello! It is working!

What should I do next.
Thank you

Problems solved,

just add the patch for 1.3.8a, for php 5.3

Since Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 Desktop has built in php 5.3.2

Thank you
