Secure Configuration of Apache in the Mac OS X Environment

My proposed solution will be to configure all the security on the OS X host in a much more secure manner, by enabling and tightening some of the built in security controls that are not enabled by default on the OS. By doing this, we will them be able to place the host on the Internet and serve up web pages in a secure manner. I will also be configuring the Apache web server in a secure manner, as well as adding extra security modules and extra functionality to the web server. PHP will be getting added to add additional functionality to the web server, as using PHP on the web server means that there will be ways to communicate with databases, and the web server will also be able to provide more than just static content by adding scripting language functionality to the web server. Due to its powerful nature though, we will need to tighten up the security on PHP before using this as a production server.
