Apple removes 'Web Sharing' from Mountain Lion Disappoints Web Developers
- petrilli 14y agoI don't know anyone who uses it, so I'm just not sure how this is a disappointment to anyone. Seems like trying to make a big deal out of Apple removing something nobody used. Also Apache is still installed on the machine, so you can run it if you want. It's just not push button.
- guan 14y agoI’m sure some people used it, but it’s not as if it was such a great interface for managing Apache. If I remember correctly (already upgraded to Mountain Lion), all it could do was start and stop Apache.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoRight. I actually did use it sometimes, so it's not quite true that nobody used it. No typical user used it, certainly. If Apache is still installed, though, any "web developer" worth his or her salt should be able to handle "sudo apachectl start" and "sudo apachectl stop".
- simonster 14y agoSeems like this shouldn't be a particularly big deal now that OS X Server is a $20 download from the Mac App Store.
- steveax 14y agoI gave up using the Apple supplied Apache a while back. It became difficult to accommodate the diverse collection of server configurations I have to support and Vagrant + Puppet handles that very nicely. For those who have more modest needs, MAMP will probably suffice.
