Hi, all. I'm just trying AMPPS to replace MAMP on my comptuer, and I have two newbie questions  :
1. At the first time I started AMPPS there is  an alert :
Do you want the application “mysqld” to accept incoming network connections? then I choose No. Is that OK? I just want the mysql listen from my local compouter for security reason. Will this affect other process?
2. I can't make .htaccess work, is there any additional steps for this?

Thank you

I need little more info on this. Have you created an alias in Apache ? .htaccess is for WordPress ?

I'm just wondering, can you tell me in what condition we need mysqld to be allowed to accept incoming network condition? And what is its security consequence?

I was just installing ampps and install Joomla. renaming its htaccess.txt to .htaccess and enabling SEF and URL rewriting from its administrator page. That's all. Then all urls returning this error :

---
Not Found

The requested URL xxxss was not found on this server.
---

I use ampps on my maverick (mac osx)

If you want to access your database remotely, you will need an internet access. If you can access remotely even others can access it similarly. You can secure it by changing mysql root password and create mysql user for specific host from where you will connect.

Since AMPPS is only for desktop, I don't see any major security issue here.

Please refer this doc:

Hi tidus, Thank you for your reply.
Well, regarding the htaccess it's actually not about Joomla itself.
I found it because MacOSX  Finder doesn't completely remove the .txt extension when I renaming the htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
I've managed to completely renaming it by doing a right clicking over the file then choosing menu "Get Info".
It will reveal the real file name (in my case, the name is .htaccess.txt) then simply rename it there.

Thanks
