xampp

Access from network

For security reasons I change all Allow from all's to
Allow from 127.0.0.1 when installing the xampp server.
I believe this keeps all my files accessible only from a local computer.

xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Add the line
Listen 192.168.0.1:80
where the ip is the ip of the xampp machine

xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Add the line
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80
where the ip is the ip of the xampp machine

Change the line Allow from 127.0.0.1 to
Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.2
where the ip is the ip of the networked computer

I did the zipped install to c:/xampp
Stared up Apache, MySql, and Mercury entered 127.0.0.1 in my browse got in everything running, Selected Security and did everything listed to secure XAMPP, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin, and Mecury Mail. I left PHP as is.

The following steps I've either picked up at the sites I'll list at the end, or figured out myself during my last install. After making a change to each file stop and start your services, so you can find any typo's or errors file by file. If you want until the end you'll have to recheck everything.
