If you mean where you enter in the "lampp" user name and a password for the Apache Authentication, then I think I can help.

Inside of the xampp directory (/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp) there is a .htaccess file that contains the instructions for Apache to ask for authorization. You can rename it, or go into the file and comment out the following lines:

Code: Select all
AuthName "xampp user"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /opt/lampp/lib/xampp.users
require valid-user


Then reload apache (/opt/lampp/lampp reloadapache) and you should be good.

Hope this helps

thank you
