---------------------------------------------------------------A matter of security (A MUST READ!)
As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for develope
rs in a development environment. The way XAMPP is configured, is to be open as p
ossible and allowing the developer anything he/she wants.
For development environments this is great but in a production environment it co
uld be fatal.
Here a list of missing security in XAMPP:
-
To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following URI:
http://localhost/security/
The root password for MySQL and phpMyAdmin, and also a XAMPP directory protectio
n can being established here.
* NOTE: Some example sites can only access by the local systems, means over loca
lhost.
--------------------------------------------------------------* MYSQL NOTES:
MySQL starts with standard values for the username and the password. The preset
username is "root", the password is "" (= no password). To access MySQL via PHP
with the preset values, you'll have to use the following syntax:
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
If you want to set a password for MySQL access, please use of MySQL Admin.
To set the passwort "secret" for the user "root", type the following:
\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root -psecret
After changing the password you'll have to reconfigure phpMyAdmin to use the new
password, otherwise it won't be able to access the databases. To do that, open
the file config.inc.php in \xampp\phpmyadmin\ and edit the following lines:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']
n
So first the 'root' password is queried by the MySQL server, before you can acce
ss phpMyAdmin.
--------------------------------------------------------------* CPAN/PEAR:
CPAN and PEAR are preinstalled with only the basic packages. If you need additio
nal packages,
you can use the XAMPP Shell (xampp_shell.bat) and install them with the command
line tools:
- cpanp i Foo
- pear install Foo
If you don't have a VC6 compiler, you can use "ppm" instead of "cpanp", to insta
ll binary packages.
