I'm looking for a tool or a set of tools to test (performances), benchmark and manage this web server.
There are many, from simple and free (ab, http_load, siege) to not-so- simple and free (flood, jmeter) all the way to very sophisticated and expensive (LoadRunner).
i have to manage some virtual hosts, htaccess files.Usually i prefer to edit .conf files by hand, but in this case i'm not the only one that manage this pc.What do you use manage apache?
Unix groups, and Subversion.Place everyone that can edit the configuration in one unix group. Make sure their umask is 002 and make the configuration files group- writable. Same story for the content. You can keep the configuration and content in Subversion, like we do at the ASF, so it's easy to track who changes what, and to roll out changes you just run svn update and give Apache a graceful restart if you change the configuration.
If you have a hierarchy where some people can edit the general configuration, and others only have access to certain vhosts, place the virtual host configuration in separate files and use Include to pull them into the main file. You can then make multiple unix groups, like 'webmaster' and 'webminions', make the main config writable by the former and the vhost configurations by the latter.
Unix groups are fairly simple compared to some access control schemes, but they can work really well for this kind of stuff.
