password after install Blocked ports
Posted: 01. November 2006 03:15
I'm a jolly (or maybe not so jolly) Green Newbie to Apache and I'm having some problems on install. The greatest of which is logging into localhost to gain entrance to the Apache GUI. It's asking me for a username and password, which I don't know how to set up. (Gotta be easy, right?) Since I don't use any passwordws on this XP system, I have no idea how to log on.
Secondly, on install, both my port 80 for Apache and my FTP port are blocked. (or so it says on install). How do I access and open these ports in XP?
I'm also trying to set up XAMPP on Linux MEPIS at work and having a rough time there, but I'll save that for the Linux forum.
I've spent the last year learning XHTML and CSS, and now I'm trying to get a handle on PHP, MySQL and Apache (with a little help from Sams Teach Yourself.)
Any direction for a complete newbie would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
