[thelist] Apache on Win32

[Beau Hartshorne]

Thank you Michael. I've made this change to Apache's httpd.conf file.

Is there a similar entry for mysql? After reading the manual, I've entered
this line in the mysql.ini file:

bind-address=127.0.0.1

I'm hoping that this will help keep unwanted visitors out. The other thing I
did in mysql was to edit the entries in the User table to deny access to
anything from anyone except root on localhost. I didn't know if it was any
better to completely delete each instance, or just replace the "Y"s with
"N"s. Is there a preferred way to do this?

BTW, I never realized how convenient it is to have a local development
server. I was used to the save, upload, reload routine... Now in HTML-kit
(after I mapped my htdocs directory to http://localhost/) all I have to do
is press f12!

Thanks again,

Beau

In the httpd.conf file, you will find the following lines in the <directory
"YOURWEBDIR"> section:

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

By changing them to read:

    Order deny,allow
    Allow from 127.0.0.1

If you have another network IP (intranet), itis possible that your browser
will identify itself by this.  Also add

    Allow from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (your network IP)

you should now have a server that can only be accessed using "localhost".
