title: php apc.php - password protect
body: <p>I've installed APC onto apache and have moved the apc.php file into the document root so I can see it.</p>
  
  <p>I was reading about setting a user/password on the file</p>
  
  <pre><code>defaults('ADMIN_USERNAME','apc'); // Admin Username
  defaults('ADMIN_PASSWORD','password'); // Admin Password - CHANGE THIS TO ENABLE!!!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What does this user/pass actually do?</p>
  
  <p>I can still view the page as before - just interested in its purpose.</p>
  
  <p>Also is it important to start outsiders view this file (I assume so) and how would this best be done?</p>
  
  <p>thankyou</p>
