How to add a MySQL password for XAMPP on OSX

February 8, 2014 3 Comments

By default an installation of XAMPP is passwordless, which is not so cool.

xampp-secure-password

 

To secure it launch Terminal in Applications/Utilities and run:

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp security

 

This will put you into an interactive dialog with the command…

xampp-secure-password-terminal-set

 

Here you can set 3 passwords:

  • the XAMPP home page aka http://localhost/xampp/
  • MySQL
  • phpMyAdmin
  • FTP

What you choose to secure or not is a matter of personal preference in a local development environment – at least do the MySQL root password and disable network access to it when prompted.
