On the security part, I would recommend u adopt a modular approach; 1. Secure the OS 2. Install apache and harden it 3. Install mysql and secure it; btw, you might want to consider the PERCONA version of mysql 4. Install PHP and secure it. 5. Make sure your PHP code is secure There is a lot of material out there on how to secure those 3, and yes, its recommended one changes the default port and root password of mysql. Its also recommended that mysql be installed in a server separate from the web server; and it gets accessed only from that web server's ip address.

Thanks for the tip so what would you recommend I use wamp or I just use apache differently and mysql and php differently, and if I am not asking too much hat and what should I change, i.e. port number, smpt bla bla ba
cheers

Assuming theres a server you use to handle emails, then all u need to do is change your php.ini to point to that server, usually the ip address, port, username and password.
Compare the mail section of php.ini on the linux test machine with the one on the windows server.
I think xampp comes with its own mail settings, which don't work as is. And to offer unsolicited advice, a default installation of xampp is very insecure! I read someplace that xampp is meant for development, not production.

Hi Techies, Happy new year to evryone of you it was a pleasure having to interact with people of the same caliber,
Now I have a problem after making an online application system where people can apply for jobs for our company, and then they get an email of notification the server does not send mail, am not sure because I know the code is okay I have tested it in a linux server and it works correctly now its hosted in a windows 2003 server and it has xampp installed in as the running apache server, its running on port 81, port 80 is being used by a different "localhost", is there any program I need to install or configure the smtp or popr mail to enable me send mail?
Thanks in advance
