Apache Friends Support Forum

hi, this is my first post here, and I'm also a newbie and I want biuld my personal website uisng xampp.

I have a couple of questions here..
1. How can change the default page, when i type http://localhost, it give me the XAMPP, can I just delete all the files in htdocs?
2. I'm not very familiar with apache specially the httpd.conf, do i need to change somwthing onj their? i already search about that, but all they says is " directives".
3. i want to change the default directoy of phpmyAdmin to like this>>"http://localhost/phpmyadmin", also what are the configuration I need in phpmyadmin (e.g. cookie,http,config.)

thanks

1) yes. you can delete all files. (be carefull with the xampp subfolder)

2) no. there is no need to change something.

3) ? phpMyAdmin has allready this URI. There is no need to configure something. It's working out of the box. BTW: your logon type you can change in the XAMPP menu within the "Security Check" ("http://localhost/xampp/")

thanks Wiedmann, just give me a try

BTW the security check are:
These XAMPP pages are accessible by network for everyone UNSECURE
he MySQL admin user root has NO password UNSECURE
PhpMyAdmin is free accessible by network UNSECURE
PHP is NOT running in "safe mode" UNSECURE

any idea?
dont know what to put to the config.inc .php

thanks again
