There are some reference books on Apache security
There is one I worked on ( I was the hobbyist reviewing the book as the
'less experienced user')
It was to be published by Pearson Technology Group or Pearson Educational.
Author was Ryan Barnett, title 'Securing Apache'
I don't know if the book was ever published. They were suposed to send me a
final copy, but it never arrived. Since I have the draft here I didn't realy
worry about it.

I learned a lot about hardening my server.
