asked on
Apache and IIS on the same machine
Hi,
I am trying to run Apache and IIS on my home PC, so I can use Apache to run my PHP scripts and IIS to run my ASP scripts. This purely for my own development use.
I installed IIS first and then Apache. They are both using the same port 80. They seem to work ok-ish, but ive noticed a problem that when I have stopped IIS and started Apache as a service, then i load IE and type in http://localhost it says "Forbidden, Permission denied" but when i enter in a filename with the .php extension it runs that file fine. it just doesnt accept the http://localhost url.
With IIS running, I type in http://localhost into IE and it displays the correct Microsoft IIS info. Now I know from previous experience that with Apache running when localhost is typed in it should display the Apache server info page - this is not the case.
Now Im not sure if this will cause me problems in the future which is why I want to ask if anyone has both IIS and Apache successfully set-up on their machines!?
Hope someone can help
Thanks
Laura
