Server Manager.app
Version 1.0.4 resolves the following issue(s)
and implements the following feature(s):
Version 1.0.5 adds Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" compatibility and is a free patch to Version 1.0.4.
Read Me! Version 1.0.5
This update includes a preferences system that allows setting and changing server configuration properties
from within the Server Manager.app interface. The installer will attempt to backup your existing Apache2
configuration files before replacing them with the new versions designed to work with Server Manager.app.
For the sake of safety, please manually copy the file "/Library/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf" into a new location prior
to running the installer package.
If you have manually changed server settings or made alterations to the existing version of httpd.conf then
you will have to manually re-integrate the changes back into the new version. A tool like BBEdit will allow you
to open both the new "httpd.conf" and the previous file now named "httpd.conf.pre-104" and do a "difference" to
determine what has changed from your version to ours. Please be careful to follow the new syntax coding and
commenting changes, otherwise your server may fail to startup again and Server Manager.app will be unable to help.
