Hey guys just a quick help from you. I have been having problems with the port and I adopted the 8080 and 4433 solutions. then I go to localhost:8080 but i do not have the options for security. any hints guys?

The old menu (including the "security") has been removed. Xampp is secured out of the box for development.

thanks for the reply. so, how do i get the same option to work out the security? for instance, if i need to work out the password for the database.

thank you very much.

one another question. if i follow the steps which I have already done it'll be for only 1 website.
what if i want to work different websites within the xampp folder for different projects and i need different database. how would i be able to put a password/login for each and every database through this steps. as in this link i haven't created any database yet.

Databases don't have Passwords, Users have Passwords and Users can have permissions on Databases.

To create a database you could use this MySQL CLI command

Code: Select all

CREATE DATABASE mynewdatabase;

Instead of the SET PASSWORD command you can use a CREATE USER command, like so

Code: Select all

CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

after that you would GRANT him access to a database like so

Code: Select all

GRANT USAGE ON mynewdatabase.* TO 'newuser'@'localhost';

If the commandline is not your best friend all of this is maybe easier for you with phpmyadmin.
