This is being done. I didn't even think about what the firewall was blocking. The problem still persists though. I don't want customers to even see the directories that contain my apps. By hiding these directories from external access, I'll get some peace of mind also. I worry about insecure apps that may give an attacker unwanted privileges and/or information. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
