Rapache: Stay tuned.
Published May 29th, 2008 by Emanuele Gentili
Soon maybe you will be able to use rapache, a simple tool for remotely managing and configuring an apache2 instance without having to hassle around through configuration files.
Damiano Di Carlo and I have started now to write it, and hope to show you the first results very soon, our goal is to get stable and working for Intrepid or Intrepid+1.
Rapache is a python + GTK tool that uses the SSH protocol to manage and configure apache2 and all of its modules.
GPL`d, Its goal is to provide the user with a simple interface to facilitate the work to those who want to set up a web-server in a few clicks.
Also we have created a project on launchpad, feel free to test it as soon as the first version will be released.

Hi!
The Rapache project seems like an Ubercool idea! Apache has needed
something like this for years!
Any plans for managing multiple cluster nodes at once?
…or plugins to handle third party apache modules like mod_jk?
Will this be built as a library with the GUI on top, so you can use it
to create other stuff, like scripted automation of common tasks? For
example, a command line tool:
$ rapache –install-server –modules mod_jk –hosts www1 www2 www3
$ rapache –add-virtual-host other.stuff.com /other/stuff –hosts www1 www2 www3
I coulde’nt access the source. I guess you haven’t committed anything yet?
