Welcome to the Linux version of XAMPP (on x86-compatible processors) By the way: In the past this software was called LAMPP but to avoid misconceptions we renamed it to XAMPP for Linux. So if you are seeking for LAMPP you're on the right track. ;) If you encounter any problems with XAMPP please feel free to get in touch with us. This will help us to improve XAMPP and make it more useful for everybody.

A matter of security (A MUST READ!) As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for developers in a development environment. The way XAMPP is configured is to be open as possible and allowing the developer anything he/she wants. For development environments this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal. Here a list of missing security in XAMPP: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The MySQL administrator (root) has no password. The MySQL daemon is accessible via network. ProFTPD uses the password "lampp" for user "nobody". PhpMyAdmin is accessible via network. Examples are accessible via network. MySQL and Apache running under the same user (nobody).

To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following command: /p/ap/ap scrt otlmplmp euiy It starts a small security check and makes your XAMPP installation quite secure. For example this protects the XAMPP demo pages by a username ('lampp') and password combination. See also our XAMPP for Linux FAQ.

Advanced start and stop parameters Until version 0.9.4 / p / a p / a p could only start and stop XAMPP. Since version otlmplmp 0.9.5 it learned a lot of new things to do.
