Hi,
I am a college student who wants to install a local testing environment for PHP, using something like XAMPP (on Windows) so I can just mess around with PHP and MySQL. The problem is when I install it, by default the site can be accessed by typing in my computer's IP address. I don't want it to be seen or accessible by anyone but my local computer because I don't want the college accusing me of trying to host a site on the network. I don't want to be in a situation like that.
Also as a side note (if anyone knows), I wanted to install Ubuntu Server on Parallels for Windows, but I can't seem to get it to boot. I can install it successfully, but it doesn't boot. I've searched everywhere and tried somethings but I can't get it. Anyone know anything?
