{panel} \\ Access to XAMPP is controlled by using a simply *username* and *password*. It is recommended that XAMPP be further locked down allowing access to specified IP addresses. This can be accomplished by making modifications to the apache *httpd-xampp.conf* configuration file as described below:\\ Below is the *http-xampp.conf* files that is initially installed by the XAMPP installer.\\ \\ httpd-xampp.conf can be found at *c:\xampp\apache\conf\extra*.\\ \\ *Original httpd-xampp.conf* {code} # XAMPP settings # <IfModule alias_module> <IfModule mime_module> #ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/xampp/php/" #Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe" PHPINIDir "C:/xampp/php" LoadModule php5_module "C:/xampp/apache/bin/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType text/html .php .phps .php5 .php4 .php3 .phtml .phpt <FilesMatch "\.php$|\.php5$|\.php4$|\.php3$|\.phtml$|\.phpt$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch "\.phps$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source </FilesMatch> <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp"> <IfModule php5_module> <Files "status.php"> php_admin_flag safe_mode off </Files> </IfModule> </Directory> Alias /security "C:/xampp/security/htdocs/" <Directory "C:/xampp/security/htdocs"> <IfModule php5_module> <Files "xamppsecurity.php"> php_admin_flag safe_mode off </Files> </IfModule> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 </Directory> Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/" <Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Alias /webalizer "C:/xampp/webalizer/" <Directory "C:/xampp/webalizer"> <IfModule php5_module> <Files "webalizer.php"> php_admin_flag safe_mode off </Files> </IfModule> AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Alias /contrib "C:/xampp/contrib/" <Directory "C:/xampp/contrib"> <IfModule php5_module> <Files "webalizer.php"> php_admin_flag safe_mode off </Files> </IfModule> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 </Directory> </IfModule> </IfModule> # Access restriction via Remote <IfModule auth_remote_module> <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/fonts"> AllowOverride All AuthType Basic AuthName "AUTH REMOTE TEST" AuthRemoteServer localhost AuthRemotePort 80 AuthRemoteURL /forbidden/ Require valid-user #User: user / Password: pass </Directory> </IfModule> # Access restriction via MySQL <IfModule mysql_auth_module> <Location /restricted> AuthMySQLEnable On AuthName "MySQL Secured Place" AuthType Basic require valid-user AuthMySQLHost localhost AuthMySQLUser root # AuthMySQLPassword AuthMySQLDB webauth AuthMySQLUserTable user_pwd AuthMySQLNameField name AuthMySQLPasswordField pass AuthMySQLPwEncryption none </Location> </IfModule> {code} \\ Two things must be done in order to control access via IP addresses.\\ \\ FIRST: In the *original httpd-xampp.conf*, notice that each *Directory* directive has it's own *Order*, *Deny* and *Allow from* element. To control access via IP addresses, the *Order*, *Deny* and *Allow from* elements must be removed from all the *Directory* directives.\\ \\ SECOND: Insert the *LocationMatch* directive below at end of the *httpd-xampp.conf* file. The IP addresses 18.19.1.231 and 18.19.5.190 are included only as an example of how to enable an IP address. Be sure to change (or remove) these 2 IP address to suit your requirements.\\ \\ You must *restart apache* after you have made and saved these changes to *httpd-xampp.conf*.\\ \\ You can download a completed version of [Install and configure XAMPP 1.7.1^httpd-xampp-1.7.1.conf] directly from this page. {color:red}Don't forget to rename httpd-xampp-1.7.1.conf to *httpd-xampp.conf* and to *remove or change* the 2 IP address lines (18.19.1.231 and 18.19.5.190){color}. {code} # # New XAMPP security concept # <LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))"> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 \ 18.19.1.231 \ 18.19.5.190 ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var </LocationMatch> {code} { |
