Did you have any problems with configuring Apache to be more secure. If you did then how did you resolve them.
I installed Apache with SSL. All I need is make sure 443 port is opened and generate a key. That's it
Did you have any problems with configuring PHP+Apache to be more secure. If you did then how did you resolve them.
I use 'mod_security'
Describe
Why you chose those security tips?
SSL is the most commonly used to protect web service. And it will also protect the clients too.. I use 'mod_security', it's interesting to have firewall module on top of Apache. It's quite useful when you are a webmast and dose not have any previlige to firewall and system. Then, 'mod_security' would be useful in this case.

1. Did you have any problems with configuring PHP+Apache to be more secure. If you did then how did you resolve them. Describe :
Actually after setting up all the apache modules I didn't have any problem, but there are some steps that are tricky like run apache in a chroot environment, check the checksum of the downloaded files, use the least privilege policy, run apache as a user without access to a shell or terminal.
- Why you chose those security tips?
To avoid intruders in my system and even if someone break in to my system, it will login as an user with low privileges and this person will not be allowed to run rootkits to because root(scalable privileges).
