actually you say
[harrrrpo:
1)"check that this the used httpd.cnf C:\wamp\apache2\conf\httpd
2)try something else like xampp ]
You didn't say anything about changes in the file you just ask me to check whether httpd.cnf is use or not.
Furthermore you didnt say anything on how to change, where to change and what to change.
Basically you answer is incomplete.
As i state in Author section i am a beginner.
plus my question is
Apache server,wamp5

So, after modification that you made
http://www.experts-exchang
both servers run simultaneously on the same machine but on different ports.
Glad that you have found the solution.
