LAMP_in_Ubuntu is more secure than XAMPP_in_Ubuntu
Posted: 10. April 2010 17:48
Dear all XAMPP GURU,
I have been using XAMPP since it is in Windows.
Now I used Ubuntu.
At Ubuntu forum, there have been some comment that XAMPP is not secured and should not be used for LIVE WEBSITE.
( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440189 )
and claiming LAMP install in UBUNTU, (desktop) is more secured.
Is this true or not.
I wrote in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= ... stcount=17
Now to me XAMPP is more secure than default LAMP installation in Ubuntu,
BECAUSE:
1. SINCE XAMPP has security check, and the XAMPP did not say after you enable security you cannot use as LIVE WEBSITE.
ONLY THE DEFAULT INSTALLATION that is prohibit for LIVE WEBSITE.
(=Dear XAMPP Gurus, please verify the above comment)
2. LAMP in default installation in UBUNTU,
I cannot find the security check function as "/opt/lampp/lampp security" of XAMPP.
I suspect that I may be wrong.
Can some GURU on LAMP please verify this and please give us the security check command or function or program to do that in LAMP in UBUNTU.
And please comment further why LAMP_in_Ubuntu is more secure than XAMPP_in_Ubuntu.
