i would like to find an appliance i could manage without having to
resort to command line or configuration files. i am comfortable with
h-sphere and cpanel, and don't want to learn a new tool/interface.
is
it possible to use a control panel like to the ones above to manage the
LAMP appliance? or is there another LAMP appliance for vmware 2.0 that
has a built in control panel?
thanks in advance!

Not sure if this will help but take a look at webmin - this is a management utility that installs on your linux server and provides a graphically interface for managing your server. It includes modules to manage Apache and MySQL.
To access the webmin utility, you use a web browser and go to the IP address of the server and the port number you've assigned.
i am new to VMware and have no experience managing LAMP setups outside of the cpanel/hsphere scope. let me see if i'm getting this right: after the initial install/config, to manage a LAMP virtual appliance i WILL have to get dirty with .conf files and the command line interface?
Thanks!

i looked at a lot of open source control panel options. this one seems to be, out of the more mature projects, the one with the most features:
is there any foreseeable reason this wouldnt be a suitable solution to my problem?
Thanks!
