Product Description:

This app is used to edit the apache configuration files. Useful if you use your computer as a web server and would like to easily configure it.

What's new in this version:

Name has changed from Webserver Configuration to Web Control.
New icon.
Multiple selection is now available.
Dragging or pasting any of the configuration directives into a text editor will show what they look like in the actual configuration file.
Fixed a few issues with undo/redo support.
Row height has been increased so that it is easier to read the directives/values without having to resiize the window to ridiculous width.
Added an “Open Quickly�? menu to the File menu. This will display all of the configuration files Web Control is able to find in the httpd config directory.
Now able to open multiple configuration files, instead of only the httpd.conf file.
Able to change the location of the httpd config directory. Previously, it was assumed to be at /etc/httpd with no way to change this. Same goes for the apachectl script.
If the application is not authorized, editing of the configuration file is now allowed. Previously, this was allowed, even though saving of the file was not.
Background colors and comment colors are now user settable in the preferences.
Greatly enhanced the parsing engine. Web Control can really open any file with an extension of .conf now. (This is not, of course, encouraged.)
Authorization button updated to look more like 10.3's authorization view.
Many, many internal code improvements.

Great beginnings! Looking forward to more. - Version: 1.0.8, 1/13/2007 10:31PM PST

Already useful and lots of potential in this application-specfiic editor app.

This could reduce the potential for errors that one might make using a general-purpose text editor.

Potentially Brilliant... - Version: 1.0.7, 1/13/2007 08:11AM PST

Deep Blue--2008

If this application hand an interface more atune to a database/record system, whereby one could 'navigate' though the Apache httpd.conf file via. nested pop-ups for each Apache directive, then it would be totally invaluable!

I've tried to create the same idea as a prototype design in FileMaker using XML by example.

Very Handy - Version: 1.0.7, 2/17/2006 07:17AM PST

and the price is right, but it would really benefit from a simple search feature to save having to scroll through the long config file looking for a parameter. Also, the current version is 1.0.8, not 1.0.7. The editing UI is a bit non-standard but not hard to get used to.
