Ok - I've never used the XAMPP installer. Beyond it existing, I know nothing about it. Seems odd that it doesn't actually work...

I think I'm missing something. Do you mean you're using cPanel (on a hosted site) or something like that? Where did phpMyAdmin come from?

'localhost' generally means your own machine. So how did you get as far as having phpMyAdmin?

It got there somehow. If you are using a hosting company, then you need to ask them about upgrading it.

If you have a system administrator, then you need to ask them. If you are the system administrator and it (for example) came with a Linux distro then you need to Google the question for that distro or ask in a distro-specific forum.

It can take 24 hours for a change of name servers to make it around the web. This information is cached - it depends on your original 'TTL' settings in the original zone file. Could that be the issue?

It's sounding less and less like a Moodle issue. To be more use we would need to know the URL of your Moodle site.

I'm not sure I understand. You want to point a Moodle resource to a javascript file? You want that javascript to execute? You don't want anybody to able to view the script?

No, there is no way. This is the age-old, "if it comes over the internet, then you can see it".

Most people use something to "obfuscate" the javascript - usually in the name of making it as small as possible rather than hiding it. It still makes it pretty useless to all but the very keen.
