The green marked points are secure; the red marked points are definitively unsecure and the yellow marked points couldn't be checked (for example because the sofware to check isn't running).

To fix the problems for mysql, phpmyadmin and the xampp directory simply use

=> http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php <=   [allowed only for localhost]
 
 
Some other important notes:

• All these test are made ONLY for host "localhost" (127.0.0.1).
• For FileZilla FTP und Mercury Mail, you must fix all security problems by yourself! Sorry.
• If your computer is not online or blocked by a firewall, your servers are SECURE against outside attacks.
• If servers are not running, these servers are although SECURE!

Please consider this: With more XAMPP security some examples will NOT execute error free. If you use PHP in "safe mode" for example some functions of this security frontend will not working anymore. Often even more security means less functionality at the same time.
