apache for intranet use only

pulper · 08-27-2006, 05:38 AM

I want to set up Apache/PHP/Mysql on my home computer and office server. Is there anything specific i have to do to the apache configuration so that this is only used for INTERNAL development of programs, and the webserver cannot be seen/accessed from the internet?

Thanks,

Paul

make it bind only to 127.0.0.1, i think it would just be "Listen 127.0.0.1:80" and "BindAddress 127.0.0.1" in your httpd.conf and that should do it

why don't you reject traffic at port 80 (assuming apache is listening at 80) of your webserver from outside your network using iptables?

edman007 and prozac, thanks for your reply. after your posts, i saw the following link:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ap...3c6949a4957d52

it is the same as your response, edman007, but i thought i would post the link for anyone else having the same thinking as myself.

thanks again,

paul
