Re: Seeking feedback on QA tool: phpflip

It's good, it sure can be useful to the QA effort. Suggestions: - when detecting a possible OS vendor distribution it would be nice to ask confirmation from the user - you could edit the httpd.conf file piping it through sed to activate php 4 or php 5 - the directory configuration can be customised to fit distributions layout (a set for debian, gentoo, etc.) Good job !
