hi, For security reasons I would like to know how to configure apache on my.host.com such that when someone tries http://my.host.com or http://my.host.com/ there will be no response from the server at all, just like there is no server running, but http://my.host.com/foo or http://my.host.com/foo/ would work just fine. ditto for https. thanks in advance. mh ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
