LinuxPlanet: Vision for Apache: Put on a Happy Face

[ Thanks to Kevin

“The Apache Web server currently powers more than 58 percent of
all the Web sites surveyed by Netcraft, with a significant portion
of those installations occurring on Linux and BSD-based systems.
It’s an incredibly popular and powerful server, used by more
Webmasters that all others combined. But there is one perceived
weakness in Apache, which greatly limits its use and acceptance in
corporate headquarters: an administrative front-end graphical
interface (GUI).

“This missing link–at least according to reviews in various
Wintel magazines–makes Microsoft IIS the server of choice in the
corporation, no matter how popular or robust Apache is….”

“On the other hand, however, I can see how some sort of GUI
front-end to Apache would be worthwhile. Heck, there’s even an
official Apache GUI site that’s set up to be a focal point for GUI
development. So it’s not a new idea, nor one that people aren’t
aware of. There are some Apache GUIs out there; and this small but
worthy field just saw its ranks increase by one with Vision For
Apache, by Focus Array.”
