Job done

After some more hacking on my new little project, I am pleased to release the XAMPP Control Panel version 0.5. I have bumped the version to 0.5 as it is fairly complete, but needs some decent testing. In addition to fixing some bugs, I have also added a large button to start and stop the entire stack. It now looks like this:

Feel free to send over patches and comments. I would like to get this to a state where it can be included with the XAMPP release if possible.

XAMPP Control Panel

Just spent a couple of hours hacking on a front end for starting the different components in XAMPP.

This is going to be useful for my own use of XAMPP as well as when teaching PHP/MySQL courses. At the moment you can set your installation path (saved in GConf) and you can start/stop any of the XAMPP components. There is still lots to do, and I want to clear some bits up before I release it. I am going to get it into a basic state for release and then if anyone wants to submit a patch to bolt on the various other XAMPP features, so be it.
