Security on MAMPStack

I understand that MAMPStack is totally independent of the original apache server of the OS. Since I have disabled the original web service, the only connection to the internet is through the MAMPStack. I would like to ask if you have any security advice on the MAMPStack or how to harden it as a more secure web server.

Hi,

Some advices would be:

- If you have a router/firewall only enable the Apache port.
- If you want to create a private site maybe the “htpasswd” tool is enough for you.
- You can use a non-standard port (different to 80) if you want.
- You can enable SSL (this post it could be helpful for you)

Cheers.

Thanks.

I shall try out your advices.

You may also want to edit httpd.conf and disable any modules that are not in use
