Xampp Vs. Lamp Localhost Install
I Originally Installed Xampp for My Localhost Needs. I Uninstalled It and Installed Lamp. I Have Been Trying to Work on My Wordpress Business Site Since Then...
I originally installed Xampp for my localhost needs. I uninstalled it and installed LAMP. I have been trying to work on my WordPress business site since then but keep running into problem I can't figure out. I try to go into page (which I now see is still labeled as a post if that matters) and proceed ahead with needed changes. Then when I try to preview or bring up the page for further review, it appears that it's coming up as if in Xampp, not LAMP as it shows the Xampp icon in the tab. BUT it doesn't open up at all. I don't know what to do to fix this or how to go about being able to continue to work on my work site to the point where I can upload it onto my hosting site.
Any help would be deeply appreciated. :)

Try to remove them both and install LAMP with tasksel:
sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel
Check the LAMP server and click "ok".
After that install phpmyadmin and copy-paste your WordPress directory into
/var/www/html
folder and run it.
