I quite like the idea of having eg, an apache-config package, which when
installed sets up httpd.conf in a way that allows adding
phpMyAdmin-config or other similar application config packages on top.
And enables everything in rc.conf, if not firing up apache on install[*].
*But* this should be separate from packages that install the software so
if you want to write your own configuration you don't have to go through
and unpick the pre-canned setup.
Sometimes you just need to sling something on a box and have it working
ASAP.
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] Well, actually it go for nginx + php-fpm + webapp rather than
apache, but the principle is the same.
