CI cannot run in Ubuntu 8.10

Good ol' permission issues on Linux
if my memory serves me correctly, this is what I done to get LAMPP and CI running on mandriva

1. Log in as root (or use sudo throughout)
2. delete the lampp install to get a completely clean start (rm -fr /opt/lampp)
3. Install LAMPP again (still as root) using tar zxvf lampp.tar.gz -C /opt (as per the xampp installation instructions)
4. change ownership of htdocs (chown -R username /opt/lampp/htdocs)
5. Exit root access (ctrl + d) or stop using sudo
6. delete contents of htdocs and unzip CI as normal user
7. Start xampp as root (sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start)
8. All should be working now
