Updating PHP Version in XAMPP for Windows

XAMPP  is a great suite to quickly get up and running with Apache, PHP, Perl and MySQL.  Warning !  It is not aimed to be used in a production environment! Its settings are geared towards ease of use rather then security! However I went against my own advice and used it in a couple of instances, however these are not public facing sites, rather internal and heavily firewalled services. Even so whenever a security update to PHP comes out, I feel the need to use the new version. Here is how you can do it, without waiting for the official XAMPP package to update (you really can't criticize them for not updating faster, since it is a  development  not a production server and as such minor PHP releases shouldn't influence your code). Warning!  Use these instructions on your own risk. They are written to the best of my knowledge, however I can't make any guarantees. Always backup your data. Download the latest binary version of PHP (make sure to get th...

Reset the MySQL/MariaDB Root Password Ubuntu

By default, the MySQL/MariaDB installation that ships with XAMPP has an empty root password. This is a serious security risk, especially if you plan to use XAMPP in production scenarios. To change the MySQL/MariaDB root password, follow these steps: Ensure that the MySQL/MariaDB server is running. Open a new Linux terminal. Use the  mysqladmin  command-line utility to alter the MySQL/MariaDB password, using the following syntax: mysqladmin --user=root password "newpassword" The  mysqladmin  command-line utility is located within the  bin/  subdirectory of the XAMPP installation directory, typically  /opt/lampp . For example, to change the MySQL/MariaDB root password from its default empty value to the password  gue55me , you would execute: /opt/lampp/bin/mysqladmin --user=root password "gue55me" Or, if a password has already been previously set and you’d like to change it to a new one, you can use the foll...
