When I click 'Run MySQL Server', I get an error message....

QUOTE
Security alert!
Possible attack HTTP_REFERER is not localhost. but ''.

(to disable this warning go: /home/admin/CGI/Secure.pm)


.... yet I'm reaching this page from http://localhost/a/

Is this normal?

I have disabled the warning as instructed, but doing so makes me a little nervous....

There is a bug with that security system. To block people, except localhost, try using the .htaccess file to do that.

Don't worry, you are safe... use the .htacess for extra protection also biggrin.gif

Just put this:

CODE

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

i get that referer thing when i try to shut down from the 'admin page'.. doesn't really bother me cuz i can just use the bat instead. i dont get the error when start or stop mysql from the web page though.

It is a bug that is affecting it.. it has been fixed for 3.3 Admin Panel 2.0 biggrin.gif

Figured I'd piggyback on this topic since it's dealing with the same issue(s) I'm having. mellow.gif

First off, let me say that I love Uniform Server! I found it today while at work 'cause the boss really likes some of the PHP/MySQL scripts I use and wanted to make them available to the rest of the employees (we are on a non *nix server). I ran it (with PHPmyAdmin and MySQL without a hitch - piece of cake!

Anyway, when I got home today, I downloaded 3.3 for myself and ran into the above mentioned problem. I commented out the warning in the appropriate file - but when I try to access phpMyadmin, I get "Server is not responding". sad.gif

I'm running Norton Internet Security - could that be the culprit?
