Title: xampp-linux.scm Description: XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. It is not meant to be used on a production server due to security issues. Version: 1.8.1 Author: Kai 'Oswald' Seidler Original-site: http://www.apachefriends.org/ Copying-policy: GPL, every single license of the contained products in /opt/lampp/licenses Size: 93.5M Extension_by: AbNoRMiS Tags: XAMPP LAMPP Apache MySQL PHP Perl ProFTPD phpMyAdmin Webaliser eAccelerator SQLite Comments: ABOUT The XAMPP distribution for Linux systems contains: Apache, MySQL, PHP & PEAR, Perl, ProFTPD, phpMyAdmin, OpenSSL, GD, Freetype2, libjpeg, libpng, gdbm, zlib, expat, Sablotron, libxml, Ming, Webalizer, pdf class, ncurses, mod_perl, FreeTDS, gettext, mcrypt, mhash, eAccelerator, SQLite and IMAP C-Client. ---- REQUIREMENTS The XAMPP scripts are require Bash. The XAMPP control panel require Python with PyGTK and Libglade (optional). ---- CONFLICTS Configuration files of this XAMPP version causes conflicts with other versions. ---- SECURITY 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. The MySQL administrator (root) has no password. 2. The MySQL daemon is accessible via network. 3. ProFTPD uses the password "lampp" for user "nobody". 4. PhpMyAdmin is accessible via network. 5. Examples are accessible via network. 6. MySQL and Apache running under the same user (nobody). To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following command: /opt/lampp/lampp security 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. After calling this command your XAMPP installation should be "secure". For developer's opinion have no idea what else could be insecure.
