Re: Installing PHP on 2nd Windows Drive

You could have several installs on the same drive, yes... C:\wampp2 and c:\www\Apache, c:\www\php, C.\www\mysql and so on for example.. Or, try this.. Create a folder names just testing123 in your C: (C:\testing123), and create a .txt file in that directory... Start->run, type 'cmd.exe' In the console, type 'subst z: C:\testing123' When you have done that, you'll find another drive named z:, which accutually points to C:\testing123.. This was you could install several XAMPP packages on the same drive.. However, the Z: will be gone after a reboot, so add that command to like autoexec.bat, your startup folder, or something like that if oyu plan on using it... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "Freedomware" <david_blomstrom@yahoo.com> skrev i meddelandet news:20040113235858.82640.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Dvdmandt wrote: > > > I have one Apache installed (well, 8 or 9, but one that I really use all > > day), 4 PHP installs..
