Hi everybody,

I need to start Apache in my computer because I want to use a web-based
program (http://www.aigaion.nl/index.php?page=install_detail). However,
I don't want to access this program through the Internet. So, my
questions is: is it possible to configure Apache to reject any attempt
of remote connection? Is there any other more lightweight option to run
a local web server just for the execution of web-based programs
locally?

If I can avoid remote connections to Apache (I guess this strange, as
it is the main purpose of a web server), please let me know how to do
that or where I can find the relevant information.

Thanks in advance,

S.

P.S. I installed XAMP.

Don't allow port 80 through your firewall

Listen 127.0.0.1

This will 'tie' the server to listen only to the local loopback
interface.

The first part of your question has been answered, yes there is a
lightweight alternative, there is a programme called easyphp (maybe
ezphp) anyways, its php, apache mysql server all rolled into a 2mb
programme, certanely not for production use but should be great for
local use, you can even compile modules into it.
