Hi,
I am running Apache 2 web server on a Win XP Home PC. The apache site talks about setting up domain user accounts etc in order to "secure" the server. By secure, I mean that all I want is for outside people to see the web sites under htdocs directory. They should not be able to do anything else harmful to my PC like create directories or read what is on my harddisk (apart from the pages I want them to see). All the websites I have read talk about Win XP pro and Win 2003 etc. I would appreciate any tips on what I need to do with Win XP home to not have to worry too much. I realise that no amount of securing will defeat a determined hacker but I would like to repel the casual "attacks". Thanks For technical details: I have a Net Gear router on which I have Port Forwarded the HTTP service to port 80 on this PC. I use dyndns.org to enable people to use a fixed URL. |
