* QUICK INSTALLATION:
[NOTE: Unpack the package to your USB stick or a partition of your choice.
There it must be on the highest level like E:\ or W:\. It will
build E:\xampp or W:\xampp or something like this. Please do not use the "setup_
xampp.bat" for an USB stick installation!]
Step 1: Unpack the package into a directory of your choice. Please start the
"setup_xampp.bat" and beginning the installation. Note: XAMPP makes no entries i
n the windows registry and no settings for the system variables.
Step 2: If installation ends successfully, start the Apache 2 with
"apache_start".bat", MySQL with "mysql_start".bat". Stop the MySQL Server with "
mysql_stop.bat". For shutdown the Apache HTTPD, only close the Apache Command (C
MD). Or use the fine XAMPP Control Panel with double-click on "xampp-control.exe
"!
Step 3: Start your browser and type http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost in the
location bar. You should see our pre-made
To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following URL:
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:
(1) The MySQL server can be started by double-clicking (executing) mysql_start.b
at. This file can be found in the same folder you installed XAMPP in, most likel
y this will be C:\xampp\.
The exact path to this file is X:\xampp\mysql_start.bat, where "X" indicates the
letter of the drive you unpacked XAMPP into. This batch file starts the MySQL s
erver in console mode. The first intialization might take a few minutes.
Do not close the DOS window or you'll crash the server! To stop the server, plea
se use mysql_stop.bat, which is located in the same directory. Or use the fine X
AMPP Control Panel with double-click on "xampp-control.exe" for all these things
!
(2) To use MySQL as Service for NT / 2000 / XP, simply copy the "my.ini" file to
"C:\my.ini". Please note that this file has to be placed in C:\ (root), other l
ocations are not permitted. Then execute the "mysql_installservice.bat" in the m
ysql folder.
(3) MySQL starts with standard values for the user id and the password. The pres
et user id is "root", the password is "" (= no password). To access MySQL via PH
P 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:
C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root -p secret
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']
= 'root';
= 'http';
// MySQL User
// HTTP authentificat
ion
So first the 'root' password is queried by the MySQL server, before phpMyAdmin m
ay access.
