Software Advise - Central config store

[adencool]

Hi im looking for some software which can do the following

store and edit config files
(i.e an interface to edit files (web app) then have the files accessable via a 3rd party server)

so on the external server (for example lets say a linux server with httpd installed) pulls the files off the central server, lets say via curl on a cron job - these files will be plain txt format i.e the standard http.conf and maybe ssl cert information, and maybe vhost

ideally the software will have version control

Can someone point me in the right direction

You're thinking about it backwards - rather than backing up and versioning the configs on servers, how about manage configurations centrally and then push those configs to the servers?

Chef, Puppet and Ansible are where I'd start.

Definitely, or maybe PowerShell Desired State Config (DSC) if you're primarily a Windows shop. With any of these solutions you can store your playbooks, recipes, scripts etc in a Git repo or something for source control.
