Need Help Using Xampp

So I've had Bitdefender Total Security 2013 for a while. I need to figure out how to use XAMPP and run my local web server while using the Antivirus. It technically works. But when I do SQL queries it's extremely slow. I've done a bit of research and a bunch of posts points to a firewall and open the ports, etc.

So my question is, how to do I open specific ports with this firewall? And if I can't do that, then am I am to shut the whole firewall down while I do my coding and turn it back on when I'm done.

I can't stand the lag every time I refresh the page lol.

Thanks for any help!

Hi AVenger, and welcome

Unfortunately, there is no ability in Bitdefender to open individual ports, as it is a software based firewall. You can try creating a rule, and also adding to exclusions, apart form disabling the firewall during coding.

Why is it so hard if it is possible to implement a graphical environment, you only need to add the advanced settings.

The XAMPP default ports:

ftp 21/tcp # File Transfer [Control] (XAMPP: FTP Default Port)

smtp 25/tcp mail # Simple Mail Transfer (XAMPP: SMTP Default Port)

http 80/tcp # World Wide Web HTTP (XAMPP: Apache Default Port)

pop3 110/tcp # Post Office Protocol - Version 3 (XAMPP: POP3 Default Port)

imap 143/tcp # Internet Message Access Protocol (XAMPP: IMAP Default Port)

https 443/tcp # http protocol over TLS/SSL (XAMPP: Apache SSL Port)

mysql 3306/tcp # MySQL (XAMPP: MySQL Default Port)

AJP/1.3 8009 # AJP/1.3 (XAMPP: Tomcat AJP/1.3 Port)

http-alt 8080/tcp # HTTP Alternate (see port 80) (XAMPP: Tomcat Default Port)

Make sure these are all open.
