I am about to run a software on a xampp server using an intranet live production environment. Please I want to know the likely risk involved in using xampp in a live production environment other than a developer's environment. The house response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

It is not safe as it's got several default settings that may be exploited if you don't know how to configure it correctly.

If I may ask, what Operating System runs on your hosting server? Why not just get a server running Linux or on any of the various hosts and install the Apache/PHP/MySQL stack? On Windows, this can be achieved too. Why risk running XAMPP on Production? Its grossly unethical and unprofessional

Thanks for your response. I was just thinking what if i password the apache,mysql and phpmyadmin just to restrict access to to the base file and likewise rename xampp to also deny access to it via a web browser, pls will these be alright and secured. Thanks for your anticipated response

Pls i still need answers from the house

Sorry been away. Please what operating system runs on your production environment? I'm a professional and cannot sit back and allow you to go against what is unethical. You can conveniently install a stack consisting of PHP, MYSQL and Apache in most OS without compromising safety. No amount of spoofing g would protect your XAMPP from being hacked when the need arises so to speak.

What exactly are you trying to do? What is the project about? Why not just move it to a typical LAMP environment hosting if its production ready?

Thanks for your response. Let do it this way,pls send ur phone contact to my mail (oludareman@yahoo.com) then i giv u a cal. Thanks
