Using FQDN on local intranet with CakePHP application

Hello,

This is my first question in this community so please forgive any mistakes and break in protocol.

I have a CakePHP application running from my www directory on my LAMP server. I need help on how to move and serve the application from a directory outside the server www directory in the most secure way. Also the the CakePHP application is running on 192.168.0.10 address and this ip is always used to access the app. Now I have registered a domain name e.g myserverapp.com and I want this to be used to access the app. Most importantly I want to disable all access to server application via ip address.

My server runs on Ubuntu 12.04 server.

Thank you.

People from outside can't directly access 192.168.0.10 (if that's one of the questions you were asking). So your application can stay there and only your server can talk to it (and others on your local LAN 192.168.0.0 can too, but I guess that's OK with you).

Thank you for your response. I am trying to protect it from my local LAN too, the server is available over multiple VPN sites. Hence the added security to keep the application outside the www directory.

Thank you.

Sorry but that is outside of my experience. I've asked a Moderator to expose this Question to some other Experts - it came to me as a Neglected Question Alert.
