If a specific folder in your website is accessible to people and they attempt to go into a branch of your website…Then they may be able to see contents that they can use to get information or files of the site.

So here is what you can do:

1) Create a blank file named index.php or index.html and upload it to the directory in question.

2) Edit your php.ini:

3) .htaccess

Create a file called “.htaccess” in your document root and put the following in it:

“Options -Indexes” (Without the quotes)

Some Notes:

Editing the expose_php will not stop the directory listing and there is a possibility that your webhost will not all you to edit the php.ini file or the .htaccess.

This kind of helps saves space. For SSD, it helps your drive stay healthy. As some may know, every time a file writes to the SSD it may degrade its performance the life. Although it may not harm it that much…But if the dump file keeps logging the errors and continuously writes to the SSD, then surely the SSD life will decrease.

Now to turn it off:

*Click the windows icon, and right click “My Computer” and click Properties
*On the left hand side, click “Advanced Options”
*Under the advanced tab, you will see a category called “Startup and Recovery”
*Click under it “Settings…”
*Under “Write debugging information”, Click the drop down and click (none)
*Press Ok

That’s pretty much it. You have now stopped logging those dumps.

So I will be telling you one of the ways to reset your root account’s password.

Open up a command prompt by doing (Windows Key+R) to bring a the Run Box.
Next, type in cmd and press enter
A command prompt should appear.

Now what you want to do is to navigate to your MySQL Server installation and find the \bin\mysqld or something similar to that.

This important step requires to disable and also stop any MySQL Services that are running:
In the run box, you can also type in “services.msc” to bring up the list of services and you will be able to find the MySQL services and you should then disable/stop them.

Now we need to create a .txt that pretty much resets our password to what you want:

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD(‘ragrag’) WHERE User=’root’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
*This tells us that our new password will be reset to “ragrag”

Finally, you can return to the command box and take note of the directory the mysqld.exe is in.

You will want to “cd” into where the “mysqld.exe” file is in.

Then enter this line into the cmd prompt:

If you installed MySQL using the MySQL Installation Wizard, you may need to specify a --defaults-file option:

C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld-nt.exe"
         --defaults-file="C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.0\\my.ini"
         --init-file=C:\\mysql-init.txt
Source: (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html) 

The format should look similar except changing the mysqld-nt.exe, you could use mysqld.exe
 And mysql-init.txt is where the "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password" code is in

If you need more assistance with this, I would be glad to make a video guide so you can follow the steps.
