spinningjennie -> Any security issues if own computer as Apache, PHP, MySQL server? (9/12/2007 2:34:47)
|
Are there any security concerns if I set up PHP, MySQL and Apache on my home computer, using that computer as a server?
Background to question:
1. I'm new to such things.
2. I've tried to install My SQL first but I'm stuck because I don't know how to open (if that's the right word) port 3306. But even if I can open this port, I'm wondering if I might be allowing baddies access to my computer somehow.
3. I do use a firewall and I have tried to set a 'strong' password for MySQL.
4. My main purpose in doing these setups is to better handle forms and form validations. I may not be launching into MySQL for a while; mainly PHP I suspect.
Thanks for considering my question.
