Have a look at OpenBSD if you are open to other OS. The current version of OpenBSD will by default chroot apache and limit permissions. OpenBSD also has an excellent reputation as one of the most secure OS's by default which will simplify your hardening needs.... HTH Russell Morrison -----Original Message----- From: Charley Hamilton [mailto:chamilto () uci edu] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 12:32 PM To: Security Basics Mailing List Subject: Setting up secure HTTP server All - I'm looking for some good directions on setting up a "secure" HTTP (not HTTPS) server. Any particular suggestions of where to hunt, since my googling has resulted in more answers than minutes to even skip them all. The purpose is to provide a server to permit sharing of research data, and to provide web pages for our research group. Thanks for any pointers/help you can offer.
