XAMPP will only be offline momentarily while it stops and starts again. For the security script, you don't need to restart Apache, but you do need to restart MySQL after you enter in a root password. For blocking access to folders in the Apache config files, you do need to restart Apache if you use the method I described. However, if you make the edits in the Apache config to .htaccess files instead of the Apache config files, you can get away without restarting. For encrypting passwords, if you want to change the SSL key that came with XAMPP, you must restart. Otherwise, if you change .htaccess files instead of config files, you can do it without restarting. Some of the future steps that I document might require to restart Apache. I'll make sure to clearly indicate this when I write those articles.

Secured password can also accept som special characters. Write your password in 3 secured places. If paranoid, places where your computer is not located. Enter comment to test linkage problem. IF u do not have error, change enviroment for zero comment and that is a better test. Testing 101, remember all details of enviromentt to recreate.
