xampp security concept. new.

[wallis]

Making a new retro. Got as far as xampp and there is a problem with the security concept.

It was always a problem on xampp I think, but does anyone know how to sort it?

Or does anybody know the version of xampp where there was no problems with it what so ever?

Thanks in advance.

1) Go to Xampp control panel
2) Click explore
3) then the folder go to apache > conf > extra > httpd-xampp.conf
4) At the bottum it should say:

PHP Code:

# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i?:xampplicenses|security|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8
fc00::/7 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16
fe80::/10 169.254.0.0/16

ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>
​

Replace that code with:

PHP Code:

# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i?:xampplicenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Order deny,allow
allow from all
ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>
​

Then restart apace

Another problem that I need one of you guys to sort;

ERROR: Status check failed [3]
ERROR: MySQL service not started [-1]

Those are the error messages I get. The first one is when I just open xampp, and it says you need to open it by it's root directory. Which I'm sure I've done.

The second one is when I try to start MySQL and it doesn't at all. Is that maybe because I ticked install on it? Even If so, it doesn't let me uninstall MySQL anyway. :{

Any help? thanks again.

MySQL does not start, is something else using its port, or an application, or even try to turn off firewall

Thanks for all the info and advice you have given me. It's been muchly appreciated
