I think they mistitled this article. The original heading was “Securing Apache”, but I figured they saw too many other sites create that article so they went with this. Good information if you maintain servers for someone (*cough*JC*cough*) and just to know in general.

PHP is a popular scripting language used to create dynamic Web sites on millions of servers worldwide. Serving dynamic pages means giving users access to commands, files, and network connections on the server, opening up many potential security risks. We can reduce these risks significantly by correctly configuring the server, but programmers should also be responsible for making sure their scripts are secure.
