Thread: A way to serve a WebGui

i'm looking way serve webgui server?
have code(html,css,php etc.), don't want run ontop of apache, have have apache installed every server using webgui (don't want install apache unless server needs use apache).

tried asking in irc, told not reinvent wheel, use ebox or use zentyal. let's clear that, aren't possibility.

looking way webmin, or unraid or pfsense (which know bsd yes...) , smoothwall serves webgui's?

know unraid uses called emhttp, quick google didn't turn anything.

so let me try restate question.

is possible create program serve web pages without using apache?

answer yes, program need implement instructions webserver implements. i've seen simple versions of written in python, perl, tcl, never php. hobby project, can implement 5 or http commands yourself, there no way i'd deploy business. creating secure webserver hard. leveraging existing web server makes sense unless want spend same amount of time building web server apache, nginx, or litehttp teams did.

you, wrote small web server around 1995 in c++. pain maintain , cgi created make running small external apps easy. need decide, needed decide, whether worth effort or not.

if way webmin serves interface, pull down source code , use needs. bsd licensed, free that. appears written in perl, might want rewrite app perl or find php version can "reuse." check license , follow it.

googled "php web server" , saw few results. http://nanoweb.si.kz/ first. gpl, program need gpl too.

agree installing full apache when want smaller solution isn't idea, however, recommend leverage other people's work, provided licensing supports needs , use solutions leverage ubuntu apt repositories maintenance , security patches easier. aptitude or apt-get fantastic , because there constant security attacks against public service, web servers. need have constant patches available.

anyway, hope understood question , provided hints solution. luck.
