 |

How can I make apache only listening on localhost, and no eth's?
It's because my dev server pages shouldn't be reachable from the outside of the local host for security reasons. |

In your .conf files, where-ever it says "Allow from all" replace this with: | Code: | Order deny,allow
Deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1 |

With Bitjam's approach Apache will still accept the TCP connection before deciding it's not allowed to access the pages. The approach also potentially requires edits of all permissions in the configuration.
You can use the Listen directive to stop Apache listening on any interfaces (i.e. ignore) other than the one's you want: | Code: | Listen 192.168.1.1:80
Listen 127.0.0.1:80 |
where the addresses are those of the interfaces you want to listen on (apache2.conf). This has global effect.
(Example based on Apache 2, may be slightly different under 1.3)
