Re: Question about Apache server

["Scott Van Singel" <svansingel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Adam, 
   
   Thank you for your comments below. 
You asked about Comanche. It is a GUI interface to manage your apache server. I got it on one of my machines but, I can not get that and Apache to work. 

I was wondering does anyone else have Apaceh experiance. I would like to test it with some web site. If someone could walk me through this I would thank you. 

I just downloaded, compliled and installed the latest Apache server 1.3.14
I also have Samba, Webmin, and Comanche running on my box.

I would like it, if someone could walk me through a couple of things. As soon as I can get a couple web site up, I am going to set my church up.

Thank you.

>1. Can I use Apache for a simple web server?

Yes.  It installs, running, out of the box.

>2. Can Web site on Apache be managed by Front page or something
>similar?

Yes, there is a module so Apache supports the Front Page publishing protocol.
Called web_dav or some such thing.  Don't know much about it personally, Front
Page generates really lousy code.

>3. Has anyone used Comanche?  I have a copy but can not seem to get it

Never even heard of it.  What des it do?

>4. What would be the best software to manage Samba, Apache, and email?

Linuxconf (installs out of the box) or some people prefer webmin.
 
>If anyone has this experience, I would like to talk to you on the phone.

Phone time is very hard to come by,  you can e-mail me privately if you like
(awilliam@whitemice.org), but this seems like an on-topic discussion for the
list.  Since the list is archived all such conversations assist future users.
