Installing Wamp5

[marvin]

Hi

 

I have IIS installed on a windows xp sp1 machine and have a site setup to do room bookings which works fine.

 

I then installed another virtual directory and called it Intranet and have put some html pages wich are accessible fine from the network. All i do is type http://office/intranet and it takes me to the local intranet page.

 

Not the problem i am facing is that i want to run PHP on this machine so that i can use PHP functions for the intranet page. I tried installing Wamp5 over and over again put had no luck. I couldn't even open the wamp server localhost page and it tells me on the system tray that only 1 of 2 services are running!!!!

 

I am not sure as to where i should have this installed!!!! I have C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder which handles the room booking system. Now when i install wamp it asks me where i want to install it... As default it goes to c:\wamp\www. Now do i need to install PHP under the c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder or this shouldn't matter!!!! I have no success on this. suggestions please....

 

Thanks

Wamp is a webserver and so is IIS. My guess would be that the 2 are trying to run on the same port (port 80) and as such Apache (the A in WAMP) isn't launching.

 

You can change the port for apache via the system, but why do you need IIS and WAMP?

 

If you want to just use PHP with IIS, take a look at PHP on IIS : The Official Microsoft IIS Site and PHP: Installation on Windows systems - Manual

But i only have windows xp pro sp1 which has IIS 5.1 installed, dont think i can integrate fastcgi!!!!
