Xampp for linux is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. Xampp contains a package of Apache 2.2.4, MySQL 5.0.45, PHP 5.2.3 & 4.4.7 & PEAR + SQLite 2.8.17/3.3.17 + multibyte (mbstring) support, Perl 5.8.7, ProFTPD 1.3.0a, phpMyAdmin 2.10.3, OpenSSL 0.9.8e, GD 2.0.1, Freetype2 2.1.7, libjpeg 6b, libpng 1.2.12, gdbm 1.8.0, zlib 1.2.3, expat 1.2, Sablotron 1.0, libxml 2.4.26, Ming 0.3, Webalizer 2.01, pdf class 009e, ncurses 5.8, mod_perl 2.0.2, FreeTDS 0.63, gettext 0.11.5, IMAP C-Client 2004e, OpenLDAP (client) 2.3.11, mcrypt 2.5.7, mhash 0.8.18, eAccelerator 0.9.5.1, cURL 7.13.1, libxslt 1.1.8, phpSQLiteAdmin 0.2, libapreq 2.07, FPDF 1.53, XAMPP Control Panel 0.6.
But Xampp is not good for production but only for developers in development environments because it has a list of missing security :
1. The MySQL administrator (root) has no password.
2. MySQL daemon is accessible via network.
3. ProFTPD uses the password “lampp” for user “nobody”.
4. PhpMyAdmin is accessible via network.
5. Examples are accessible via network.
6. MySQL and Apache running under same user (nobody).
Xampp is not recommended for dedicated or shared servers
Remove Xampp
Stop and remove
# /opt/lampp/lampp stop
# rm -rf /opt/lampp
