I have been a web designer for about 6 years. I am now learning the server side of things.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 if that matters.
I would like to know if it is possible for me to create a web based admin panel. I would like to be able to restart the server via this web page. I am also learning php and javascriopt at the moment. I've only used photoshop and dreamweaver in the past but now am getting back to coding from scratch in notepadd ++.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. And yes I understand the security risks involved, I will be placing it outside of my www folder. |

If you have shell access (ssh) it is much easier to restart the webserver from the shell.
To write a script is not the problem, but you have to run the script as root. That is a problem, cause for security reasons the web server doesn't run as root user. |
