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. |
