Java Apache Admin Tool?

Posted by Cliff on from the thoughts-comments-and-random-opinions dept.

cant_get_a_good_nick asks: "I was trolling Sourceforge, and found NetLooney. Since there seemed to be interest in a quality Apache admin tool, I was wondering if anybody here had used it and can comment on it. It was commercial at one time, now iit's GPL'ed."

    The web page mentions that you may have to tweek the .cfg file to your apache server. Is it just me or does this just seem wrong.

    You have a "Serious" GUI config tool that configures something as complex as apache. Now you have to dive into the config file to change some settings so it works??

    Shouldn't this kind of config be GUI as well. Even though i don't particularly like windows, I don't think any windows based apps require the editing of a text file before you can run the program??

      You need to edit NetLoonies cfg file, not apaches!

    Can you even change Swing themes?

    Yup, the Metal theme isn't to everyone's taste. You can also select native Look and Feel, which I believe is the default on Windows. On Unix the native l&f mimics Motif, albeit badly. The MacOS l&f used to ship with the betas of Swing, but Apple pressured Sun into dropping it - but for a while I could fool people into thinking I was running a Mac app on my Unix box.

    A few people have attempted to create new l&f packages, most notably a NeXTSTEP one. But the major amount of work involved in producing a full l&f means few (if any) have been completed. At least that was the state of things last time I looked aroud for one.
