Mapache
Overview
Mapache is a utility for Web Developers that develop on a Mac and need a quick and easy way to set up the built-in Apache Web Server. Voilá the missing Apache Preference Pane for Leopard! Mapache supports editing of the main Apache host, including path, port, access restriction, access order and a few options. Mapache also makes it easy to enable Leopard's built-in PHP module and also Virtual Hosts -- both are switched off by default. A second pane makes it easy to add/delete or edit as many Virtual Hosts as you like along with various options.

Hi, I'm Mike live in Portland Or. I am interested in learning how to control a website from my home mac pro. But I know almost nothing about this except that Mapache was something I thought might help me. So Installed Mapache without knowing anything and thought I could play around and see if I could actually create a design on the apache web page that shows up when enabling "Websharing" in system preferences. All I wanted to try and do is control a web page from MY computer ON my computer without an outside server for help of anykind. The one problem I could really use help on is how to completely remove Mapache as when I install or uninstall the preference pane I get thousands of log messages still saying:( httpd: could not open configuration file /private/etc/apache2/httpd.config: No such file or directory) Any help on anything I said would be appreciated. Thanks, "mike"

It sounds like you're trying to use Mapache on OS X Tiger. It will not work - Leopard is the minimum system requirement. Sorry!
To uninstall, simply remove the preference pane from: ~/Library/PreferencePanes/ or if you installed it for all users: /Library/PreferencePanes/

I use macports and have a separate apache install due to the 64-bit nature of the stock leopard apache. Do you know of a preference pane which could start and stop apache installed at a different location e.g. /opt/local/apache2?

No, but it would be very easy to write a script that could do that for you. Either way, with the upcoming release of Snow Leopard, the need to run a 32-bit version of Apache would surely stop making sense?

Will you consider going open source with this application?

Unfortunately, though development has stalled, there are no plans for making this application open-source. Sorry!
