How to secure apache and mythweb

[AnimeFreak]

Ok, I recently installed mythdora with fedora 10, rpmfusion, and default mythdora repos.



I was wondering how to secure apache and mythweb.


Also, I want to redirect all http to https.


I have already decided on non standard port numbers. So for right now please refer to:

standard http port = portH


and 

https port = portS

When writing code.



Also, I want to generate ssl keys with 4096 bit aes with passwords, but don't know how.



Thanks,

PS: I want to be the only one with access to the apache server. But, I may want to access it from school, so I can rule out filtering IP addresses.

You can password protect the mythweb page with an .htaccess file.

Use Apache's htpasswd:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/htpasswd.html

Or Apache's rewrite from http to https:

Ok, I am probably going to do both.

The only thing I need help with now is generating 4096 bit aes ssl keys.
