How do I create a launcher for the Xampp control panel?

Question

I have a directory C:\documents\ and I would like its files and sub-directories to be accessible by visiting http://localhost/something/? Using Tomcat, I know that I can use

<Context docBase="/documents" path="/somthing" />

How can this be done using the Maven Jetty Plugin? I'm using the plugin version as described below:

<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
        <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
      <scanIntervalSeconds>1</scanIntervalSeconds>
      <webDefaultXml>src/test/resources/webdefault.xml</webDefaultXml>
      <stopPort>9966</stopPort>
      <stopKey>foo</stopKey>
    </configuration>
    <version>7.0.0pre1</version>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

Thanks for your help.

Solution 1

Try to run this command:

gksudo python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py

And I got this error:

Error importing pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade

Install python-libglade solved the problem:

sudo apt-get install python-glade2

Hope it's useful for someone.

Solution 2

This desktop-file seems right (I have almost the same). Maybe, you forgot to replace typographic quotes (as in your snipped) to normal quotes.
