 |
|
I'm trying to setup apache to work from localhost only, it seems i should just change in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf
| Code: |
###
### IP Address/Port
###
# BindAddress *
Listen 80
|
to
| Code: |
###
### IP Address/Port
###
BindAddress localhost
Listen 80
|
but apache won't start with BindAddress in the config! even just uncommenenting it fails. 
| Code: |
$ /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
Syntax error on line 95 of /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf:
Invalid command 'BindAddress', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
|
is there a better way?
thx |

Replace with | Code: | | Listen 127.0.0.1:80 |
(Remove the BindAddress first, it does not work for Apache 2) |

ok thanks that works, but what about https? port 443 still open on all interfaces. I can disable it for this situation, but now i'm curious.
...it would be nice if the config that comes with apache worked with the version installed... |

| I think there is a "Listen 443" in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/40_mod_ssl.conf, you need to change that one as well. |
