MAMP like tool for ubuntu

I am from mac os x background. To control my apache, mysql, and php, I used to use MAMP tool available for mac os x.

On my ubuntu, I have installed all the required softwares but, I want a good UI tool to control my apache. To be specific, I change my document root too often, so I want a GUI tool to where I can just browse for desired document root, and restart the server.

Is there any such tool available?


The equivalent tool to MAMP for Linux/ Ubuntu is LAMP.

I believe this is what you are looking for.


MAMP is more than an installer. You can manage various aspects of your web dev environment, but probably the most commonly used is you can stand up a new site on your system with it's own domain name in seconds. It makes web development easy. So things that install Apache, PHP & MySQL only satisfy the least important aspect of what MAMP does.
