markdr Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi.I've had an Apache server with PHP and MySQL installed on my home computer for a long time now, but I'm going to be connecting it to the internet in a week's time.Basically, is it secure to do so? Will people be able to connect to my server? If so, is there any way I can stop this?Apologies for my ignorance, but I don't know much about these things.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 People will not be able to connect to your Apache server unless they know your computers IP address and that you have allowed external access to port 80, which should be the port Apache should be running on.
