1. A computer-implemented method for providing task-oriented management of server configuration settings, the method comprising: logically grouping the server configuration settings into a set of tasks; wherein the set of tasks comprises: general tasks and editing tasks; wherein each of the editing tasks maps to one or more the server configuration settings; wherein changing one or more of the server configuration settings affect a server's performance; wherein the editing tasks include an edit defaults setting task and an edit all properties task that include a list of all of the server configuration settings that is arranged to individually modify server configuration settings; and wherein each editing task allows a user to make modifications to one or more of the associated server configuration settings; mapping a user interface element to a task in the set of tasks; mapping the task represented by the user interface element to a server configuration setting; displaying a task list that includes at least the user interface element; wherein the displayed task list displays the general tasks and the editing tasks within a first window such that each of the tasks that are logically grouped are selectable from within the first window; wherein the tasks are arranged according to a frequency of use; displaying a user interface page module in response to a selection of the task; and modifying the server configuration setting when completion of the task through the user interface page module involves a change to the server configuration setting.
