I try out MAMP every now and then, shrug. I've never had it crash or interfere with anything else on any computer.Īs a testing server, I've found it better than MAMP and it doesn't download huge amount of crap like MAMP does and they aren't pushy (like the MAMP people are) about getting the paid version. I just realized I've been using this a really long time and I don't remember if I've ever reviewed it here. Hmmm, it would also be nice to see a very minimalistic CMS. My major wish now is for Aprelium to create a FTP server. Since it is easy to change the XML config file, I just wrote my own simple admin program in the database Panorama and do bulk changes to hundreds of web sites in just a few seconds. While the web browser admin interface works well and it easy to figure out (with the ever-present contextual help button), I would like to see some changes in just the look and feel and the ability to do bulk changes. htaccess files right there in the admin console rather than in hiddn files scattered all over the machine! It's also nice to do most of the features of. You forget it is there as you only need to access it for adding new virtual hosts. All the major features are now there.Ībyss is fast, hyper-stable, very low memory and CPU usage, and feature rich and their email support is nearly impeccable. I can only recall one crash (it actually may have been the fault of the OS) and only one difficult to pin down bug (involved PHP).Īnd now, with the latest version they have added the one essential feature that I have needed - log rotation.

I've now used Abyss for around a decade for commercial web hosting on multiple servers and it has probably been the most stable and near bug free piece of software that I have ever used.
