Starting New Litecoin Pool as practice for Scrypt Alt-currency Pool making

[DRKMSTR]

I'm currently attempting to start my own pool server with some spare hardware I have.
The specifications for the servers are pretty decent, but I have no idea how to properly get the software running.

I understand that there's pushpoold etc. but what about Frontend software? Payout software etc?

I want to make a practice litecoin pool and as soon as it functions, transform it into an alt-coin pool.

I'm looking for suggestions for pool frontend software as well as links to tutorials. I have not found many useful tutorials through google searches.
