----
CONFLICTS
Configuration files of this XAMPP version causes conflicts with other versions
----
SECURITY
As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for
developers in a development environment. The way XAMPP is configured is
to be open as possible and allowing the developer anything he/she wants.
For development environments this is great but in a production environment
it could be fatal.
Here a list of missing security in XAMPP:
1. The MySQL administrator (root) has no password.
2. The MySQL daemon is accessible via network.
3. ProFTPD uses the password "lampp" for user "nobody".
4. PhpMyAdmin is accessible via network.
5. Examples are accessible via network.
6. MySQL and Apache running under the same user (nobody).
To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following command:
/opt/lampp/lampp security
It starts a small security check and makes your XAMPP installation quite
secure. For example this protects the XAMPP demo pages by a username
('lampp') and password combination.
After calling this command your XAMPP installation should be "secure".
For developer's part have no reason what else could be insecure.
See also how can make XAMPP installation more secure at this Linux FAQ:

----
BASICS
Complete list of XAMPP administering actions can be looked calling this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp
To start XAMPP simply call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
This command is added into /opt/bootlocal.sh during XAMPP installation.
If got any error messages during start XAMPP please look this Linux FAQ:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-linux.html
After the Apache and MySQL began running then just visit this URL:
http://localhost
To stop XAMPP can simply call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp stop
This command is also added into /opt/shutdown.sh during XAMPP installation.
