WAMP security issues

[Tom_Duterme]

Hi Everyone,

Was wondering if anyone knew of any security issues that may be associated with running WAMP as a local development environment. Are the tools that come with the packages (Apache, Mysql, etc.) installed such that the environment is pretty much locked down, or do I have to worry to patch things myself?

Cheers,
Tom Duterme

Why don't you try XAMPP from apachefriends? It has more modules than WAMP built in and it also has SSL, phpMyAdmin for administering your mysql database and .htaccess support for windows too.

Here's a list of preinstalled applications that come with XAMPP:

• Apache

• MySQL

• PHP & PEAR

• Perl

• ProFTPD

• phpMyAdmin

• OpenSSL

• GD

• Freetype2

• libjpeg

• libpng

• gdbm

• zlib

• expat

• Sablotron

• libxml

• Ming

• Webalizer

• pdf class

• ncurses

• mod_perl

• FreeTDS

• gettext

• mcrypt

• mhash

• eAccelerator

• SQLite and IMAP C-Client
