Running 2 CMC on one localhost?

I am new to PHP and mySQL. I am trying to set up 2 databases. One is for Drupal (which is already set up and running) and the other is moodle.
I think have installed moodle but cant seem to find it on my localhost. It keeps going to the Drupal site. I have searched their documentation, drupals docs and this site and it seems there arent many people trying to run 2 CMS at the same time. Is there a good reason for this?

Could anyone please let me know if it is at all possible to have 2 localhost sites at the same time?

With a limited scripting knowledge, I would also like to know if PHP ans mySQL would be the best way to go.

you can have couple different hundreds, even thousands, CMS as long as your wamp pc can handle them; just make sure to setup vh and db acct for each

To setup DB account, follow this
[blog.jlbn.net]

You need to setup Access, DNS, and VH; Access for permission to connect to your Wamp PC, DNS to tie domain(s) to your Wamp PC, and VH to host multiple domains/websites and even you have only 1 domain/IP, you should use VH to set it up w/ the site you want to show up first on top and localhost on bottom and others in middle if having more than 1 site; if dont have real domain, just skip DNS guide

To setup Access, follow this

To setup VH, follow this

To setup DNS, follow this
