Hello RaGEZONE users.. Ive saw how some people have been in the help section asking how to fix the security concept error so i decided to make a thread on how to fix it.


Ok open up your xampp folder then go to apache then conf then extra then open up httpd-xampp.conf then replace it with this:

Code:
#
# XAMPP settings
#

<IfModule env_module>
    SetEnv MIBDIRS "C:/xampp/php/extras/mibs"
    SetEnv MYSQL_HOME "C:\\xampp\\mysql\\bin"
    SetEnv OPENSSL_CONF "C:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf"
    SetEnv PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR "C:\\xampp\\php"
    SetEnv PHPRC "C:\\xampp\\php"
    SetEnv TMP "C:\\xampp\\tmp"
    UnsetEnv PERL5LIB
</IfModule>

#
# PHP-Module setup
#
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadModule php5_module modules/php5apache2_2.dll

<IfModule php5_module>
    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
    <FilesMatch "\.phps$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    </FilesMatch>

    PHPINIDir "C:/xampp/php"
</IfModule>

#
# PHP-CGI setup
#
<IfModule !php5_module>
    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-cgi
    </FilesMatch>
    <IfModule actions_module>
        Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi "/php-cgi/php-cgi.exe"
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

sorry that I didn't put it in 1 of those thingy forgot :p
 
Cheers TheJigsaw :P Helped Quite A Lot As I Was Having A Problem With Xampp And That Exact Error :)) Thanks Will Press The Thanks Button.
 
this is kinda common sense as it says where to change the settings in the error....anyway nice release....
 
If i have to be honest it fails.
When you do this you open your /server-info and /server-status to the public, and those can be pretty darn useful for hackers. You also enable everyone to see your XAMPP folder which should only be accessable by localhost. I would advise you to delete those folders first.
