[PHP] Re: Installing PHP on 2nd Windows Drive
I have one Apache installed (well, 8 or 9, but one that I really use all day), 4 PHP installs.. I have PHP 4 at C:\php, Apache at D:\Apache, PHP3 at D:\php3, PHP5 at D:\PHP5, mysql at D:\mysql4, my webdocuments in c:\www, D:\www2, G:\document..\\my documents and so on.. No problems at all.. The only problem you'll get is that you can't une the Apache installer twice without uninstalling the first one... I use to just rename the Apache folder, uninstall (no files get removed), then I rename back, then I reinstall to overwrite the files which needs to be updated... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com Freedomware [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev i meddelandet news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I got a preconfigured package - Apache 2.0/PHP/MySQL - up and running, then I installed Apache 1.3. Everything seems to be working fine, and I'm ready to start tweaking it. In the meantime, I bought a book about Apache, PHP and MySQL, which includes tutorials on downloading the programs individually. I don't want to mess up what I've already installed, but I have an external hard drive that I use for backing up my documents. Could I install new Apache, PHP and MySQL programs on that drive? They wouldn't interfere with the equivalent programs on the C drive, would they? In fact, is it possible to have PHP programs from two hard drives open at the same time? After all, I can open up documents on both drives with Windows Explorer. Of course, I guess I'd have to install Dreamweaver on the second drive, too, so I'd be able to test PHP and make sure it's working.

So if I understand correctly, you could have several of each installed on the SAME DRIVE even? I'm thinking of creating two new folders on my C drive, then installing Apache, PHP and MySQL one at a time in the first folder, then installing that preconfigured package that seems to work so well in the second drive. The Apache installs would be 1.3 and 2.0, but the two installations of PHP and MySQL might be the same version, for all I know. That would be really convenient! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could have several installs on the same drive, yes... C:\wampp2 and c:\www\Apache, c:\www\php, C.\www\mysql and so on for example.. Or, try this.. Create a folder names just testing123 in your C: (C:\testing123), and create a .txt file in that directory... Start-run, type 'cmd.exe' In the console, type 'subst z: C:\testing123' When you have done that, you'll find another drive named z:, which accutually points to C:\testing123.. This was you could install several XAMPP packages on the same drive.. However, the Z: will be gone after a reboot, so add that command to like autoexec.bat, your startup folder, or something like that if oyu plan on using it... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com Freedomware [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev i meddelandet news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dvdmandt wrote: I have one Apache installed (well, 8 or 9, but one that I really use all day), 4 PHP installs..
