Disable standard localhost? (I use virtual host)

Hi

I use pretty standard settings, on port 80.

And I use virtual host, so it's like [myhost.tld]

But [localhost] still works and shows my web content.

How can I disable [localhost] so only the virtual host name is accessible?

Thank you

Ok now I have it set so that [localhost] shows WAMP default www content (the wamp overview/interface), and my virtual host [myhost.tld] shows my own content.

I assume nobody can access my localhost WAMP interface from outside right?

Access to your localhost is controlled by the Virtual Host that defines localhost. As it is for ALL Virtual Hosts you define.

So it you made the mistake of changing the VH definition of localhost to `Require all granted` that would explain why it is visible from outside the PC running WAMPServer


Make sure the Virtual Host for localhost has

    Require local

in its definition, then only the PC running WAMPServer will be able to connect to it.
