Howdy,
So, I only need this for internal usage for hosting some info and files. What I want is something that sets up and is ready fairly easily, done via GUI, and I want something that’s stupid easy to configure. For example, I want if I make a subdirectory under the defined web root, then the server should recognize that, and if the browser points to a directory that contains no index, then it should simply provide a file list.
I can deal with a little configuration etc. but it’s never going to do more than extremely rudimentary response and providing files. I’m on Kubuntu.
Thanks.
If that’s the case then I probably don’t need gui but I would prefer to be able to put files wherever I want. Like if I want the web root to be somewhere other than /var/www/ that’s actually not really gonna work for me.
What’s your fear of editing config files? They’re just text files, and manual edits certainly allow a degree of customization that you’ll never find in a GUI interface. My own config is set up with domain name folders under /home/ to contain the many domains I run, that’s something I’ve never seen handled by a GUI and yet it makes so much more sense for keeping files organized.
Whether it be apache2 or nhinx, the root directory is literally one line to change in the config file.
