Well, then you should learn how to use it "properly". ![Wink ;)](https://www.elkarte.net/community/smileys/default/wink.svg)
Just a suggestion, obviously, but that's it.
Start apache and mysql are two lines:
sudo systemctl start apache2.service
sudo systemctl start mysql.service
What I did was create a script named "webserver":
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "start, stop or restart please! :-P"
exit 0
fi
WHAT=$1
if [ $WHAT = 's' ]; then
WHAT='start'
fi
if [ $WHAT = 't' ]; then
WHAT='stop'
fi
if [ $WHAT = 'r' ]; then
WHAT='restart'
fi
if [[ $WHAT = 'start' || $WHAT = 'stop' || $WHAT = 'restart' ]]; then
echo [icode]sudo systemctl $WHAT apache2.service[/icode]
echo [icode]sudo systemctl $WHAT mysql.service[/icode]
else
echo "start, stop or restart please! :-P"
exit 0
fi
made it executable and used like this:
webserver s <= to start
webserver t <= to stop
webserver r <= to restart
It starts/stops/restarts both apache and mysql at the same time when I run it and I don't need to remember the exact command.
Of course it can be changed to default to start, so that you can use your mouse to run it.
WAMP and XAMPP may have some advantages on windows, but on linux the only thing that usually bothers me is where to find the configuration files, that I change... once or twice a year, so I spend a bit more searching for them and that's all.
