OSS/FS Web Based Website Management?

Posted by Cliff on from the managing-websites-using-the-web dept.

Captain Morgan asks: "I work at an engineering company where we have a website for our engineering projects. The problem is that modifying our internal website requires both file server access and the desire to locate and edit html documents. It would be great to have some kind of web based site management software that ran on apache to enable editing and other tasks via a browser. Simplifying website management would also enable more people to contribute to keeping webpages up to date. I've found a few web based site management projects but nothing that stuck out as being great. Does anyone have any experience with open source/free software solutions to this problem?"

    Zope is an excellent web-based system, and there are many add-ons for extra features like calendars, discussion lists, etc.

    Can run 'behind' apache, but it also includes it's own webserver.

    Apache/1.3.26
    Debian GNU/Linux
    PHP/4.2.1
    mod_ssl/2.8.9
    OpenSSL/0.9.6d
    WebDAV/1.0.3 (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning)

    Works great, except absolutely anyone can edit any page... But it seems like that's what you are looking for.
