MicroApacheMonitor 0.1c1

Requirements

• A Windows PC (I use Windows XP SP3)

• MicroApache (I use MicroApache version 2.2.2)

• Python (I use Python 2.6.5)

• PyWin32 Python package

• setuptools (just run the ez_setup.py Python script)

Installation and Setup

• Install the requirements listed above.

• From command prompt, run::

  easy_install MicroApacheMonitor

• Edit C:\Python26\Scripts\mapachemon_start.bat to point to your MicroApache installation.

• Optionally, you can add mapache_start.bat to your startup folder, so it will start automatically when you log in to Windows.

Usage

• Run mapachemon_start.bat. By default, this also starts the MicroApache server.

• Use the context menu actions to control MicroApache.

• The Quit context menu action will also stop the MicroApache server.

Other Notes

• MicroApache Monitor does not use Windows services. This means any user can use MicroApache Monitor without needing administrative priveleges.

• All of the requirements can be installed without administrative priveleges also.
