WampServer

Thank you for creating such a great product!

With your help I've learned a lot and am weaning myself off MS products!

This is my second (and more important) install of WampServer. First was on a laptop for proof of concept and it's been brilliant. No problems so far.

My goal is to move the sites I created to a development server that has currently is running IIS 7.5 and has about 5 sites, each site has port 80 and 443 bound to it's virtual IP address and accessible on the WAN and everything is working.

I'm trying to bind Apache to one of the available virtual IP addresses. For example, 192.168.1.35.

I've changed the Apache.conf file to say Listen 192.168.1.35, even appended :80, changed to 81 but I can't seem to get it to run. Confirmed firewall is OK, running netstat doesn't show any conflicts, etc.

Do I need to change where it says localhost to the actual IP address?

Has anyone had IIS and WampServer running concurrently on the same machine with success?

Thank you.

Jose

you should not be changing the IP.

it could never work

just change the port and then use http ://localhost:81

Steven,

Thank you for a quick reply.

Is this a limitation of WampServer? I was under the impression Apache and IIS should be able to co-exist on the same machine.

I want to prove WAMP is a viable solution for us as the first phase to ultimately get to LAMP. I need to be able to bind at least one site from a local port to the external WAN port. Is this going to be possible with WampServer? Or am I going to have to do this another way?

Thank you.

Jose

Im sure not what you mean...

they can co exist on the same machine, but your trying to bind it to an IP which is a mistake for what you want,
just change the port to 81

then it will be available on that machine at 127.0.0.1:81 or localhost:81

if you need to access from another machine then you just need to use the LAN IP of this pc.

example 192.168.1.35:81

you may get a forbidden page... if so , left click the wamp icon> put online

Steven,

I'm sorry if I'm not clear. I'm the product guy, not the engineer.

I'm trying to make a site which is visible externally.

In IIS I would create the site bindings such as below for a new site to get to it externally:

Type| Host Name | Port | IP Address
http | site.com | 80 | 192.168.1.35
http | www.site.com | 80 | 192.168.1.35
https | | 443 | 192.168.1.35

How would I achieve this with WampServer and Apache?

Using vhosts in apache. >> [httpd.apache.org]

Althought Apache doesnt have SSL setup by default.
