[SOLVED] WAMP on windows Server 2003

[jkkenzie]

my wamp on windows server 2003 is not going online, its not even loading the localhost page. Its saying internal error, service not started.

IIS is running on this server also.

 

Thanks

Joseph

You cannot have both IIS and WAMP running at the same time. as  both ofthem use port 80, listening for tcp/ip requests. Ports can only be used by one service at a time. I'd recommend you to modify WAMP so it listens on a different port instead, eg port 8080

 

To do so find WAMP's httpd.conf file and find the following line

Listen 80

Change that line to

Listen 8080

Save the httpd.conf and restart WAMP. Now use http://localhost:8080/ to connect your WAMP server. http://localhost/ on its own will connect to your IIS server.

Thanks for your input here in the WAMP on Win Server 2003;

 

Is it safe to run WAMP on a win 2003 web server, which uses IIS and Helm 4 control panel?

I have two domains that want to run PHP and CMS and I am deciding to load PHP by itself, or WAMP, which also uses MySql.  Does my IIS and Helm 4 control panel co-exist with sites that want to run WAMP, or PHP and MySQL?

 

I already have running SQL 2005 express on another domain ecom site and I do not want to stop what is already working...

 

Thanks for any input, as my research so far looks like WAMP is worth it.

WAMP, IIS, MSSQL, so on all work together fine as long as ports don't clash.

 

 

You could just run PHP under IIS by the way.
