Good morning. Great experience so far. The app looks good and, so far, works good under Windows XAMPP environment. Here are a few suggestions based upon my experience installing and testing.
1. During installation, the MySQL password field is in plain text. Recommend using a password masking field for those "over-the-shoulder lookers".
2. MySQL root password is stored unencrypted. Even though it is for testing purposes, anyone with access can gain root MySQL access. Recommend hashing the password.
3. Related to / affected by #2, there isn't a way to modify the MySQL root password in the settings except for the file. If implementing a password hash, recommend also adding a setting in the Softaculous control panel to allow password update if the user changes the root password.
4. Installations which require PHP below 5.3 are shown as an available option to users with PHP 5.3+. Recommend hiding installs which require specific PHP versions.
Again, thanks for the product. I enjoy testing installs on my development machine.
