WampServer

Hi friends

I want to try my hands on asp.net in an xpwin pc. I am thinking of installing IIS v51. on the pc which already has wamp.

If the ISS service is turn off will wamp work ok & vice versa. Your advice appreciated.

Hi there FuzMic


IIS ( any version ) and WAMPServer (Apache) are both web servers so they will both want to use port 80 by default, thererfore they will not run together.

However, if wamp is not running i.e. Apache is not started then IIS will run just fine, and visa versa, as long as IIS is turned off Wamp(Apache) should run just fine.


IIS does sometimes incorporate other services that also try and use port 80 so you may need to be a bit clever making sure all the IIS and associated tools are all turned off when you want to run Wamp

Thanks Chris for your words of assurance and the more in-depth paths. I have in fact played around with port 8080 with servername:8080 while iis is running. Once i turn off iis service, even port 80 is ok. That is what you mean, i hope.

Meanwhile I have installed iis v6 in my xp.pc and seem working fine. I am thinking of webmatrix so that i may try my hand on iisdeveloper express. Any advice on this. Kind Regards.

Yes as long as you run them one at a time both using port 80 is fine. Its only if you try to use both together that you need to use another post on one of them.
