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....

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.

Charley
