Hi All
I am looking for the best way or practices to lock down Apache 2 running on a Windows 2003 server. At the moment all I have installed system wise is Apache 2, PHP5, MySQL5. IIS 6 in not even installed on the system, and the entire system is behind a hardware firewall. I am using phpbb 2.1.x (phpbb3) and Wikimedia for the actual webpage/site. Every thing is working smoothly, and I can connect to it from outside without any problem. Because I am very anal when it comes to security I have setup my personal website on a dynamic IP (yes there is a static DNS attached to it) and using a non standard http port. However I would like to improve my security even more by adding SSL to the site. This way when a person first tries to bring up a page, the first thing it does is asked for a username and password. Ideally I would like to tie this into the forums that I am running on the site, so I can allow users to change their own account. But at the moment all I want to do is get SSL for apache working. |

Team,
For the past few days, I am trying to install SSL on Windows 2000 version of Apache 1.3.34. As you all aware, this version is no bundled with OpneSSL. I tried different ways to implement SSL, but all my efforts are in vain. Please help me in providing step by step instructions to set up Apache with SSL. Thanks in advance. SRK |
