I have apache running locally on my machine. I don't use any directory brackets, just DocumentRoot references to enable web server access to a specific folder. What do I put in the httpd.conf file to restrict access to just my computer. <br />

Apache fails to load If I try putting something like these examples in the httpd.conf file:<br />
<br />
&lt;Limit GET POST PUT&gt; <br />
order deny,allow <br />
deny from all <br />
allow from 127.0.0.1<br />
&lt;/Limit&gt;<br />
<br />
or:<br />
<br />
order deny,allow <br />
deny from all <br />
allow from 127.0.0.1<br />
