i wanna know is there any way like this


i wanna install phpbb on my server which can be accessed through pc 1 - 3

but apache wont start, port 80 occupied

Correct, IIS is using port 80.

BTW:
Why want you install an Apache, if you allready have a running webserver (IIS)?

as i told u before , i wanna run phpbb

by the way, i finally run apache on port 81 successfully
and i run phpbb successfully,
but the problem is now i can not run forum from pc 1 - 3

in PC 1 - 3 i type http://localhost:81 but nothing happens
how to solve this?>

as i told u before , i wanna run phpbb

Well, you need a webserver to run phppp (any webserver. IIS, Apache, whatever...)

in PC 1 - 3 i type http://localhost:81 but nothing happens

"localhost" is allways the own pc.
--> Use the hostname of your server.

how can i know what is my hostname is?
plz explain

thanks again

Normally that's just the computername.

(Or just ask your administrator)

>how can i know what is my hostname is?
on the server open a shell ("cmd") and type
ipconfig
<Enter>

it will show the ip-address of the server then.

on the clients(PC1..3) then http://192.168.0.1:81 (or whatever you found out)

so you mean, i open internet explorer on pc 1 -3 and enter computer name?

can u explain what should i enter in internet explorer?
