Hi,

I am new to Apache and have just installed it on my Win98 computer.

Is there a way of turning the Apache server on but only allowing access to myself instead of having it available to the internet via my IP address?

Thanks.

In your httpd.conf file search for #BindAddress * and replace that with BindAddress localhost. //Daniel

You also need to make sure "Listen xx.xxx.x.xx" is commented out or the ip is set to 127.0.0.1.
