Features

Pawnee is a menubar utility designed to help you manage your local Apache installation.

Features are organised in panels:

Panel	Description
PHP	Detects installed PHP versions (with Homebrew) for easy switch
Virtual hosts	View and edit configured virtual hosts
Modules	Displays available and enabled Apache modules
Activity	Shows server activity for easy debug

The application works with the /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file.

• When this file is updated, the server will restart automatically
• When editing the file for the first time, a backup will be made (/private/etc/apache2/httpd.pawnee-backup.conf)

Pawnee and brew httpd

[Enhancement]
Just wondering whether we can customise the path to which .conf file Pawnee looks at and/or which apache install.

On my set up I use brew for everything and got rid of the built in apache then installed via brew: brew install httpd

I've tried a few things such as creating a symlink to the directory specified in the readme and got it almost working but i get halted with an apache error:
AH00534: httpd: Configuration error: More than one MPM loaded.

I know what you're thinking, don't use more than one MPM...
Well over to my httpd.conf..

#LoadModule mpm_event_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_event.so
LoadModule mpm_prefork_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
#LoadModule mpm_worker_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_worker.so

I can switch to another MPM and it works, but its unsupported by brew:

Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  Homebrew PHP does not support a thread-safe php binary. To use the PHP apache sapi please change your httpd config to use the prefork MPM
AH00013: Pre-configuration failed

I'm gonna try a few more things from source and see if I can fix it, unless anyone has any alternate ideas.

Thanks,

Callum

Server Error macOS Sierra

Hey There. Interested in this project, I tried to run it on my machine iMac with macOS Sierra and ran into the following error...

AH00557: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for Tylers-iMac.local
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

Additionally, do you know how one would save the sudo password, so it does not need to be entered each time using the application? Im not well versed with apache, and only novice JS.

Cheers.

Add PHP7 support

MySQL Support

Right click in tray and quit

When I do right click on tray icon it become highlited but nothing happen:

Then if I do left click and click on window window disappear (when click on it)

---

Quit is hard to find, may be it should be a button near settings icon?

Shortcuts to config files

Add shortcuts to configuration files:

• httpd.conf
• /etc/hosts
• php.ini

Overwrites httpd.conf with invalid path after brew fails

Love the concept!

Here is a bug I have found:
Checking configuration...
Server is running.
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using rooter.local. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

Setting php56...
/bin/sh: brew: command not found

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.4...
Error: Could not symlink bin/pear
Target /usr/local/bin/pear
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/pear'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite php56
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run php56

Filechange detected.
Restarting server...
Checking configuration...
httpd: Syntax error on line 1 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/opt/php56/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/local/opt/php56/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): image not found

Server is stopped.

Also, load module does not respect existing php module already in file.

Icon for dark menubar

I can't see app is launched before I turned off "Use dark menu bar and Dock" option into system general settings.

Please, provide an inverted (white) menubar icon version.
