I don't know what system you are using but debian(which I run) has some standard deamon helper things which should make daemonizing arbitary program relatively easy.
Beside, I don't mind the manual procedures of setting apache proxy and the like as I would like to know what I am doing rather than some really automatic things which unless is really well written(which is difficult and I seldom find one that is, especially on *nix except for the core system packaging), would fall apart and I need to debug someone else' smart script which is not smart enough.
