Windows Configuration Tool

Can anyone recommend a Windows program that will configure
Apache 1.3 rather than have to do it by text coding? I am looking to
do multiple domains. I also want to install CGI and PHP on it (or
does that install when you install Apache 1.3).

Suggestions?

Thanks,


Fred

"Text coding" is a bit of an odd way to describe editing a perfectly
human readable config file. I've not heard of a windows util that does
what you describe. I don't mean to be harsh, but if you take a little
time to read some (by no means all) the Apache docs then you'll see that
a Windows app to configure Apache is pretty redundant.

In particular, if you're setting up a public web server then you owe it
to yourself and others to at least understand the basics of how to
manage the software on which you depend in the way nature intended.

PS: CGI "comes" with Apache, PHP does not. Get Apache working first,
then go to www.php.net

First, I've tried installing PHP. Cannot get it to work.

Second, I do know a little bit about configuring it and I've
had some success. I'm just looking for a way to make it easier (via a
GUI) for those who don't understand the coding so much.

There's lots of tutorials about configuring Apache/PHP/MySql. Try a
Google search.

Here's one:
