how serve up locally IPV4 and IPV6? other questions

what changes do I need to make to the files to make apache serve up locally?

IPV4 (given that most commercial-off-the-shelf routers serve up DHCP over IPV4 and not IPV6 and IETF is just starting to consider home IPV6 now)
Code: Select all
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
bind-address=127.0.0.1


IPV6 (don't know of any routers that will do this) will this work on an IPV4 network?
Code: Select all
Listen ::1:80
bind-address=::1


are these correct?
but is there more?
what about phpadmin?
do I need to do something like this?

I am using vhosts and a hosts file. I do not want them getting beyond my machine.

how would I use a firewall appliance to serve up http and https over my LAN? I assume you would block incoming port 80,443 since those are open ports from the outside, and you would put the sonicwall (?) between the modem and the router?
or it replace the router?
if I serve up over LAN, how would I have a localized DNS? (windows DNS software of some kind?)
I don't want that going out over the internet either.

is there a XAMPP that doesn't come with Strawberry Perl?

No, of course not. IPV6 is IPV6 and not IPV4, if you need IPV6, your network has to support IPV6.

I dont think so. As you can see, the colon ":" is already used in IPV6 for separations of the eight parts. As far as i know, you have to embed the IPV6 IP into brackets, if you want to specify a port:

Code: Select all
[::1]:80


Wikipedia etc. surely is a good documentation.

This depends on you. If you need it, you need it. If not, not. It is a question of security.

Xampp is NOT mentioned to be used for a productive environment, it used for local development only. So all these questions do not affect Xampp. If you like to run a server, it might be a better idea to look for a forum that matches your needs - Xampp is not suited for online access.

As far as i know, it is "ActivePerl". I dont know if it is the same.

if xampp is used for local dev only, why does it say it's production-ready on the front page?

Q: 127.0.0.1 or [::1] serves up locally and not over the internet or anywhere else? just wanted to be sure. thanks. my question is whether the loopback stays local or whether it in fact does out anywhere.
