Hey guys,

I installed XAMPP 1.8.0 today. The issue i'm having is, whenever I visit the security page to try to secure my xampp directory and phpmyadmin links, only the security status is being shown. I'm not being provided with a link to set passwords for the same. Also it say s maximum execution time of 30s exceeded. I've attached a SS of what i'm seeing below. Please help me out someone. Thanks

If you have not down this already - I suggest you shut everything down and restart your machine. Before you try again to set security, clear your browsers' cache.

Good Luck

Thanks JonB. I tried doing all that. Tried different browsers too. Tried to access via 'localhost' as well as 127.0.0.1. Nothing works :'(

Do you have anything, other than XAMPP itself, set up or installed into this installation?
Was this 'an upgrade' of any sort???

IF not, I would do a fresh download & install from either the .zip or 7z downloads.

If you made any of the components into a service, be sure to remove them as services with the Control Panel or the 'sc delete' command line tool, before un-installing/removing XAMPP.

Good Luck

I think this may have been due to cookies being disabled. Just an 'intuit' moment

Thanks JonB for all the help. But finally managed to figure out the problem. As the page shows, navigate to your C:\Xampp\security\htdocs\security.php file. Edit it and scroll to the line 100, or search for,

Code: Select all

$conn_id = ftp_connect("127.0.0.1");

Just comment this section out. That is, change the above line to,

Code: Select all

//$conn_id = ftp_connect("127.0.0.1");

Save the file, and go back to the security page. Would work now!.The above fix is for all those who're facing the same problem as mine

Well, thanks for posting that info.

There is likely a bug there, although I am unsure how it is being triggered. Yours is apparently the only report of the problem.

OK, when you ran the security script were you on http://localhost???

or were you on a different IP, a hostname or ::1?

Thanks again.
