X stands for cross-platform i.e. Xampp can be installed on any platform such as Windows OS, Linux-based OSes (hence called Lampp for Linux), etc. A stands for Apache web server. M stands for MySQL (actually, it is MariaDB; however both MySQL and MariaDB have the same command and tools). P stands for PHP. Next P stands for Perl. Therefore, it is an apache distribution with MySQL, PHP, and Perl. There are other programs as well &#8211; proFTPD, OpenSSH, SQLite, PHPMyAdmin, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing and managing these programs separately requires a lot of technical knowledge.

This is because of changes in various versions of xampp. And if both the links do not work try to go to <code>http:\/\/127.0.0.1<\/code> as explained in this <a href=\"https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/20345132\/127-0-0-1-is-accessible-working-but-localhost-not-accessible-not-working\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">StackOverflow question<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step_7_make_xampp_more_secure\">Step 7: Make xampp more secure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was just a beginner, I used to get worried as soon as I heard about &#8220;Apache&#8221; or &#8220;web server&#8221;. I used to think that by installing that, I might accidentally open up some ports and thus make my computer accessible from the internet to hackers. If you have this kind of fear, then please implement the following recommendations. And you can also look at my upcoming article on Uncomplicated FireWall (UFW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"make_the_apache_mysql_and_proftpd_listen_to_the_localhost\">Make the Apache, MySQL, and ProFTPD listen only to the localhost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can configure Apache, MySQL, and ProFTPD in such a way that they only listen to requests from your own computer. For most of you, this is fine and it also greatly reduces the risk of being reached from the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For the Apache web server, go to its configuration file <code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/httpd.conf<\/code> and replace <code>Listen 80<\/code> with <code>Listen 127.0.0.1:80<\/code>. Now, the Apache server listens only to the request coming from your own computer at the <code>port 80<\/code> while earlier it was listening to the request coming from all the addresses at <code>port 80<\/code>.<\/li><li>Similarly, in the file <code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/extra\/httpd-ssl.conf<\/code> comment out the line <code>Listen 443<\/code> by putting a hash symbol <code>#<\/code> in front of it. <code>Listen 443<\/code> tells the apache web server to listen to all requests coming at port 443 therefore it needs to be commented out.<\/li><li>For MySQL, open its configuration file <code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/my.cnf<\/code>. And put <code>bind-address=localhost<\/code> after the line <code>[mysqld]<\/code> in this file. This binds MySQL with the localhost so that nobody from the internet can access it.<\/li><li>For the FTP server, open its configuration file <code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/proftpd.conf<\/code> and put the following two lines after the line <code>DefaultServer on<\/code>:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>DefaultAddress 127.0.0.1\nSocketBindTight on<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you need to make sure that the above changes have worked. Restart xampp and go to the link <code>http:\/\/localhost<\/code>. Make sure that the link still works. On top of that execute the following <code>netstat<\/code> command and be ensured that the output in the column <code>Local Address<\/code> corresponding to the <code>State<\/code> <code>LISTEN<\/code> should start with <code>127.0.0.1<\/code> or <code>::1<\/code> but not <code>0.0.0.0<\/code> (which means all addresses) not <code>:::443<\/code> (which means all addresses at port 443).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;ajay@lenovo ~]$ sudo netstat --numeric --program --all\n\nActive Internet connections (servers and established)\nProto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID\/Program name\ntcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:39435         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1569252\/python3\ntcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:80            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2226916\/httpd\ntcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:21            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2226949\/proftpd: (a\ntcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8765          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1569252\/python3\ntcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:51224         127.0.0.1:39435         ESTABLISHED 1569252\/python3\ntcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:39435         127.0.0.1:51260         ESTABLISHED 1569252\/python3\ntcp6       0      0 ::1:3306                :::*                    LISTEN      2227172\/mysqld\n...\n...\n...<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"change_xampp_passwords\">Change Xampp passwords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the usernames and passwords and other related information, parse configuration files for MySQL, ProFTPD, PHPMyAdmin, and others. They are located in the <code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/<\/code> directory. For phpMyAdmin, the configuration file is <code>\/opt\/lampp\/phpmyadmin\/config.inc.php<\/code>. More on this in the upcoming headings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Apache, FTP, MySQL, and other packages have null (empty) passwords. This is fine if nobody can access these servers from the internet (which is possible using the above heading). But if you want to access your Xampp from the internet, you need to use the <code>\/opt\/lampp\/lampp security<\/code> command. This will change passwords for, user &#8220;pma&#8221; for phpMyAdmin, user &#8220;root&#8221; for MySQL and user &#8220;daemon&#8221; (sometimes, &#8220;nobody&#8221;) for ProFTPD. Now, only people with access to these passwords can access Xampp apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a sample output of the <code>\/opt\/lampp\/lampp security<\/code> command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>XAMPP: Quick security check...\n\nXAMPP: MySQL is accessable via network.\n\nXAMPP: Normaly that's not recommended.

Make sure that everything is working as expected. Do this at every step so that the overall process is smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"super_security\">Super security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The xampp is mainly meant for being used in a local development environment. You are not supposed to use it in the production environment. However, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apachefriends.org\/hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">tutorials on the official site to deploy your local project<\/a> to Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and others. The tutorial covers everything about security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"back_up_and_restore_your_personal_files_in_xampp_in_linux\">Back up and restore your personal files in xampp in Linux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you update\/install xampp in Linux using the above method, your own configuration and data files might get lost. For that, you need to back it up. For this, first, you need to know where these files go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htdocs\">Htdocs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The full form for Htdocs is HyperTextDOCuments. This sounds almost like Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Many of you might be getting an idea of what this means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a directory &#8211; <code>\/opt\/lampp\/htdocs\/<\/code>. When anyone goes to your website (in our case http:\/\/localhost), the Apache Web Server serves contents from this directory. For example, when you go to the link http:\/\/localhost in your browser, Apache will serve the content from this directory. As a fun task, go and have a look into this directory &#8211; you will find Html and CSS files. Try to read the content of this HTML file. And you will see what I am talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to practice with WordPress, WordPress will be downloaded, unzipped, and installed in this directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, you can also make Apache look beyond this directory <code>htdocs\/<\/code> as well. That will require configuring the Apache&#8217;s configuration file <code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/httpd.conf<\/code> which is beyond the scope of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"configuration_files\">Configuration files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Linux&#8217;s default configuration files in <code>\/etc<\/code>, they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/httpd.conf<\/code> \u2014 Apache configuration.<\/li><li><code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/php.ini<\/code> \u2014 PHP configuration.<\/li><li><code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/proftpd.conf<\/code> \u2014 ProFTPD configuration.<\/li><li><code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/my.cnf<\/code> \u2014 MySQL configuration.<\/li><li><code>\/opt\/lampp\/etc\/extra<\/code> &#8211; many more configuration files such as httpd-ssl.conf<\/li><li><code>\/opt\/lampp\/phpmyadmin\/config.inc.php<\/code> \u2014 phpMyAdmin configuration.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"data\">Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Linux&#8217;s default data directory <code>\/var<\/code>, it is <code>\/opt\/lampp\/var<\/code>.
