Apache AND IIS? Why are you doing that?! These are two technologies which perform the same functionality, and running them side by side would require extra configuration.

WAMP5 is a nice installation for PHP, MySQL and Apache, as is NetServer. At the end of the day I feel that NetServer is more robust of a tool, but WAMP has a nice interface for configuration and setup.

Hik, I'm ready to buy a new desktop PC with Windows Vista, but need to be sure XAMPP will run on it OK. I'd much prefer to install using the XAMPP Windows install routine, rather than manually. Has anyone tried installing XAMPP under Windows Vista yet? What's been your experience? Thanks and regards, Paul Pinella

Problem is, I have not had to modify anything in a *long* time. Everything works wonderfully as is, I just want to try out some newer features (5.0.4). Quite...

I think (but I'm not sure) that the Apache web server is running properly, but whenever I try to open a PHP file (for instance, by opening http://localhost, which should take me to the XAMPP start/ admin page, index.php), my browsers are unable to run it, and only
