Re: Installing PHP on 2nd Windows Drive

I have one Apache installed (well, 8 or 9, but one that I really use all day), 4 PHP installs.. I have PHP 4 at C:\php, Apache at D:\Apache, PHP3 at D:\php3, PHP5 at D:\PHP5, mysql at D:\mysql4, my webdocuments in c:\www, D:\www2, G:\document......\....\my documents and so on.. No problems at all.. The only problem you'll get is that you can't une the Apache installer twice without uninstalling the first one... I use to just rename the Apache folder, uninstall (no files get removed), then I rename back, then I reinstall to overwrite the files which needs to be updated... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "Freedomware" <david_blomstrom@yahoo.com> skrev i meddelandet news:20040113210749.1524.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I got a preconfigured package - Apache 2.0/PHP/MySQL - up and running, > then I installed Apache 1.3.
