i'm hosting some smaller sites/gameservers on a windows server 2008 R2, and now i can see in my connection log that the database is used more than just local hosted stuff, so i want to limit my mysql to localhost only, and i know by doing that i will not be able to use my "Mysql Control Center" but that is why Xammp is here, there have been "PhpMyAdmin" on it from day one. But how do i make the settings so it is only localhost? and my www.mysqlhostsite.com/phpmyadmin.
Things i got:
Windows server 2008 R2
Mysql
Phpmyadmin
xampp
By default, the MySQL server listens for connections only from localhost, which means it can be accessed only by applications running on the same host. However, in some situations, it is necessary to access the MySQL server from a remote location.
In MySQL the LIMIT clause is used with the SELECT statement to restrict the number of rows in the result set. The Limit Clause accepts one or two arguments which are offset and count.
With XAMPP in place, you can test projects/modifications before releasing them to the Internet. The MySQL Database forms a vital component of the XAMPP Stack, being one of the most significant features offered by it. With XAMPP, you can use phpMyAdmin to create & use your XAMPP MySQL Database in minutes.
You can limit connections from a specific address (e.g. localhost) with the bind-address option. Configure this in your my.ini
file:
[mysqld]
bind-address = localhost
Alternatively, you can force MySQL to use named pipes (a local-only method for connecting):
[mysqld]
bind-address = localhost
skip-networking
enable-named-pipe
Of course, restart the MySQL Service after editing my.ini.
