[QUOTE="JayC, post: 313591, member: 36373"] So I have noticed a problem with people messaging me or creating help threads "How do I setup IIS because Xampp isn't secure" this is actually false. Anyone who wishes to argue then just leave the thread now. I have owned a large majority of retros, every one of them using Xampp and I have never been hacked. So I am going to give a quick tutorial on how to set it up and get it to work correctly. First Step: Install Xampp This is done simply by googling Xampp Install You only need the required components, you can uncheck Firebird and such Second Step: Install Apache and Mysql [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nZSz23V.png[/IMG] Most Xampp's will look nicer then this, this is a very old version :) You just check the Service and it will install. It takes a few seconds and then you're ready to rock. Third Step: Secure external connections You want to delete your Webdav folder from your htdocs otherwise people can connect to your Xampp. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vbO7wbi.png[/IMG] Fourth Step: Secure your folders Open Xampp Directory -> Apache -> Conf -> httpd.conf [B]Search For[/B] "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks" [B]Replace that part with:[/B] "Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks" This will make it so people can't view your R63 folder Directory! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mOvRkdd.png[/IMG] Fifth Step: Change your default password for Xampp and Secure your database! Sixth Step: Run Apache/Mysql and you are good to go! Links that might help you if you're stuck: [URL]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18517675/cannot-disable-directory-listing-in-httpd-conf[/URL] [URL]http://veerasundar.com/blog/2009/01/how-to-change-the-root-password-for-mysql-in-xampp/[/URL] [URL]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22333581/xampp-mysql-password-setting[/URL] [/QUOTE]
