Re: APACHE server on a machine that already has IIS =

For all those who want to run Apache on Windows, here are some tips: First thing, if you don't know much about installing Apache,Php,Perl,MySql etc. Go to http://www.foxserv.net and download Foxserv, its an Apache, Php, MySql, Perl installer. So with just a few clicks away you get the whole thing installed and working. If you want to install and configure every thing yourself then get Apache from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Php from http://www.php.net/downloads.php MySql from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html Perl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePython from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/ ActiveTcl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/ Read the installing instructions carefully, install & configure every thing to work properly. If your machine has capability you can run multiple server on the same, but each must listen at different port, For this you have to make changes in httpd.conf file located at C:\Apache\conf directory (replace the directory letter or path if you have installed it at some different location. Now open httpd.conf file in notepad and look for the following lines Listen 80 # Change 80 to 8080 : this is the port number where Apache will listen and work. ServerName localhost:80 # Again change 80 to 8080 : now your server is ready to listen and serve files on port 8080 So now the server address is http://localhost:8080 Now to configure php with Apache I assume you have downloaded latest Php windows binaries, and have them installed at C:\php, although it has got very precise instructions on how to install and configure, but here are some tips Again in httpd.conf, add the following lines LoadModule php4_module D:\FoxServ\php\sapi\php4apache2.dll # If you have installed Apache 2.x LoadModule php4_module D:\FoxServ\php\sapi\php4apache.dll # If you have installed Apache 1.3.x In the end I would like to inform all that Apache 2 can run as service on only NT or Win2k, but on Win98 you will have to run it as application. Another tip if Php can be installed and used with PWS/IIS so you can have PHP for PWS/IIS from http://www.php.net and install and run it as cgi only. greetz Vinayak "Harpreet" <harpreet@crispincorp.com> wrote in message news:00f101c3052a$586fc0b0$6001a8c0@launchmodem.com...
