Please secure XAMPP before publishing anything online. As a small help there is the 'XAMPP Security console'. In case of a router or firewall, your PC is normally not accessible via network. It can also help to use a firewall or a (NAT) router. Especially if XAMPP is accessible via network and people outside your LAN. The default users of Mercury and FileZilla are known.ДЄll points can be a huge security risk. The XAMPP demopage is accessible via network.

ProFTPD uses the password 'lampp' for user 'daemon'.

The MySQL daemon is accessible via network. Here a list of missing security in XAMPP: The MySQL administrator (root) has no password. For development environments this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal. The way XAMPP is configured is to be open as possible to allow the developer anything he/she wants. XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for development environments. (I share, even if not a direct xampp question, as it's listed as a canonical question for AMPP's stack) I always recommend to try out - WampServer, UniformServer, Wamp-Developer Pro, and Xampp to see if one of them fits your needs, and if not, to either set up your own custom WAMP installation/framework, or go with a LAMP environment.ДЄn answer directly from XAMPP. There are about a dozen or so WAMPs that you can test, to see how they stack against each other.

And others probably think you'll gain more experience doing it all yourself.Д«ut not all WAMPs are like this, and some are highly though-out frameworks that deal with security, upgradability, and configurations in a proper manner.

and that generally make a mess of things.ДЄnd at the end of the day, those people would rather install and configure Apache, PHP, and MySQL their own way. The main reason is that some people have had a negative experience using a 'everything including the kitchen-sink' type WAMP distributions that comes with a FTP Server, Mail Server, JSP Server, DNS Server, have issues with upgradability, security. If the question is - using Windows as my platform, why would some people tell me to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL separately rather than as part of a WAMP distribution. When you install a LAMP stack from your distribution's package repo, everything will be in an expected, well-known location. As such, when you (or anyone else) go to troubleshoot things, you're left searching all over your filesystem for, say, your php.ini file.

In the vast majority of the time, you're able to upgrade everything with a single command.ДЇinally, #3: one-click installers place their files in very non-standard locations. When their packages get released to their official repos, they've been through much testing and the chances of them breaking anything on your system are fairly low. Then, for #2, OS vendors make it very easy to keep your LAMP stack upgraded with the most recent feature updates and security patches. This is OK for development work, but incredibly stupid to do in production. As such, many of the configuration values are intentionally left in a very insecure state. are designed to be one-click stack installers that make it easy for developers to get to work quickly and with the least resistance possible. To expand on #1: WAMP, MAMP, LAMPP, XAMPP, etc. There are many differences, though the three most troubling ones are:

Since a WAMP stack itself is composed of apache, mysql and php, then what's the difference between using the WAMP stack and installing them all separately?
