 +  * **Turn off unwanted services** - There are a few services and/or features that you will want to turn off or not allow. All of these services can be disabled in the httpd.conf file. Those services/features that could cause the most issues include: 
 +       * Directory browsing. This is done within a directory tag (the document root is a good place to start) using the Options directive and is set with “-Indexing”. 
 +       * Server side Includes. This is another feature that is disabled within a directory tag (using Options directive) and is set with “-Includes”. 
 +       * CGI execution. Unless your site needs CGI, turn this off. This feature is also set within a directory tag using the Options directive, with “-ExecCGI”. 
 +       * Symbolic links. Set this inside a (surprise, surprise) directory tag with “-FollowSymLinks”. 
 +       * None. You can turn off all options (in the same way you set the above) using “None” with the Option directive. 
 +   * **Disable unused modules** 
 +   * **Restrict access** 
 +<code> 
 +Order Deny, Allow 
 +Deny from all 
 +Allow from 192.168.1.0/16 
 +</code> 
 +   * **Limit request size** - Denial of service attacks are always a possibility when you allow large requests on Apache. Apache has a directive, LimitRequestBody, that is placed within a Directory tag. The size of your limit will depend upon your Web site’s needs. By default, LimitRequestBody is set to unlimited. 
 +   * **Hide Apache’s version number**

 +ServerSignature Off 
 +ServerTokens Prod 
 +TraceEnable Off

 +This configuration will compress everything except for images. Of course, you can’t test this with curl, but you can test it with Firefox and [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829|LiveHTTPHeaders]]. If you don’t have Firefox handy, you can try a very handy **[[http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php|web application]]** that will give you the statistics about the compression of your site’s data.
