I hope the title doesn't cause too much cringing. But basically I have always had a web development sever running on my personal computer, going back as far as the late 1990's. So a few years ago I finally threw in the towel on windows and made Linux my daily OS. On windows I had been using AMPPS, as it was very easy to work with. But on Linux its a royal headache. I currently have a file with 15 steps (none of it is on their wiki), spelled out in detail, that I have go through to get it running and even then you can't easily access the software GUI (web ui is accessible).
I just upgraded the hardware on my PC, so I took the opportunity to remove all of my noob install mistakes, and reinstalled Linux. I don't want to use AMPPS this time around. And besides it is fairly easy to install each part of a LAMP server stack separately on Linux. So what I am looking for is the GUI, for easy configuration. I know I can edit the config files manually, but the headach is I have to do that so infrequently that I always have to go look up how to do it. And most search engines are getting very bad about returning good results for professionals. So finding what config file and how to change them in the future maybe nearly impossible, so a GUI is much preferred. And based on how AMPPS works I think it could just be a web interface that runs when I type "localhost" into a browser. Temped to build it myself but I am guessing someone else already has and probably has though of several things that I have not.
