Hi,
I want to installed XAMPP (Basis Package) version 1.7.3 on Windows XP.
I am new to this and wonder about security.
Can someone hack into my computer if I run XAMPP. If yes, Is there ways I can do to avoid this.
Thank you very much.

I think you dont have a firewall.
Go into the listing apache/config/and open the file httpd.conf. Search this place:
- Code: Select all
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
Listen 80
Replace Listen 80 by
- Code: Select all
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
With this attitude nobody can access from the outside on the Apache
