Right now I'm using Mandrake 8, and although it has Apache installed and a GUI to configure it, the Apache I have has files all over the place, and as a result it's hard to navigate it. So I want to recompile a new apache, but unless theres a way I can tell Linux that I have a new install of Apache, I can't use Mandrake's GUI anymore. So I need a new interface to configure virtual hosts and such. Are there any free ones out there,


I could continue using the apache that came with Linux, if I ccan find out where the apxs program is located, since I can't find it on my system, and I don't even know where all the Apache directories are supposed to be.

Well if you just want to find where apxs is located, do the following:

cd /
find . -name apxs -print

You'll prob. want to run that as root or you'll get all sorts of permissions problems (warnings) as it walks through the various directories.

As far as a frew gui tool goes, check out webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin/).

There are quite a few... you just have to know where to look

:)

http://gui.apache.org/ is a good place to start. I've heard good things about Comanche. Also, check out www.freshmeat.net, www.sourceforge.net etc.

Yeah, Webmin is pretty good for apache if you are running linux or from what I have seen..
