Let's you edit your httpd.conf file with easy. Good for newbies. Anymore more programs like this for the PC? Or any more cool programs for the pc that could make server management more simple?

hey, that's actually pretty cool :) httpd.conf is a big file and this looks like it'll make shorter work of trolling through it.

Yeah httpd.conf is a pain to scroll around in. I know there must be other cool programs for the pc like this.

Actually, it would be more work to copy it to a directory you can access via FTP, download it, load it in that program, edit it, save it, upload it to the server and copy it over the old file. Why don't you guys just do CTRL+W and type in what you're looking for. Takes about 20 seconds to make a few changes from SSH.

if your httpd.conf is very big and cluttered, then why don't you just split it up into a few different files.

have a seperate .conf file for apache basic config, modules, misc module config, vhosts, and ssl vhosts.

My thoughts exactly. It seems like ApacheConf is just an extra hassle... granted, it's a neat idea, it just doesn't seem very practicle.

It is practical for the growing number of Apache binaries for windows out there.

Those just starting out can have an easier time at learning their http.conf

<Sarcasm> Why would you even run apache on windows? Please someone tell me. </Sarcasm>

Many web designers run it to be able to preview their sites with data functionality, but do not need a full Redhat installation.

Either due to hardware restraints etc.

BTW, I don't read nor care about Sarcasm, its too flipant.

While it may be a hassle for us knowing about our httpd.conf, it is a great tool for beginners. It just has one failure: It should be freeware.

The Apache conf is quite well commented. Doesn't take that long to find your way around. :confused:

Hmm, I rely too much on gui. My first webserver was a cobalt which made everything less painful but the lack of cpu power made me move on. I now got a demo license of plesk for one domain. I find that I don't use many domains at all. How do I add virtual accounts manually?

I use ncftp as well so I have to set that up I guess. I had someone do all th work for me cause I am scared of messing things up to a point where nothing works. I which apache and ncftp had their own GUIs =/

The smallest package for plesk is 30 domains at $199. I only need about 5 domains.
