Need hel on serval things

[sjoerd]

Hi,

I am not new to xampp. Nut i nevert tryed to secure things so no one can access some things. But now i want it to make it public and i want to secure these things:

PHPMYADMIN -> he is asking for username and password but when i just enter root in it en then enter he opens the phpmyadmin. And i have set a paswoord in the config.

The MySQL admin user root has NO password UNSECURE
- how can i give that a password. And another thing. Is it also possible to give every database a new password ? So other people can access one of your database ? I don't want that people can access all databases.

I have installed Xammp new again 2 months ago, do i have to reinstall everything again before chnging stuff ?

Thnx for any help

The MySQL admin user root has NO password UNSECURE

This is from the page "XAMPP SECURITY"?

There is a link on this page

To fix the problems for mysql, phpmyadmin and the xampp directory simply use
=> "http://localhost/xampp/xamppsecurity.php" <=

or:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xam ... #password0

Is it also possible to give every database a new password ?

No. Databases have no password, users have passwords.
--> you can add a new user with access to only one database.

he MySQL admin user root has NO password UNSECURE is indeed form the XAMMP SECURITY but when i click on that link, it asks for a password, but some how he just don't set that password. I get an 'panel' to login but when i just typ root it also login.

I have also changed this in the config:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'secret';

but then i also have to set root and then it logins to
