Installing XAMPP over Existing Apache and mySQL
Posted: 30. January 2009 06:41
I'd like to setup Joomla for a website project but need to install XAMPP for Windows XP pro, sp3.
I read that xampp has apache, plus MySQL, PHP, Perl and Filezilla ftp already configured, but wondered whether it would mess up my current Apache-tomcat 5.5.16 and mySQL instalations, and want some advices before I start.
I'm not too technical, but did manage to get apache n mySQL working last time while taking JSP class a couple of years ago. I dont remember how i did it, but I think I made notes about how I did it somewhere.
Can I install XAMPP package over the exisiting apache n mySQL, and will it mess up the current configuration?
if so, is there a xampp version that i can select to install only PHP, Perl and Filezilla? and can use the current config file? Again, the whole idea of installing XAMPP is to install Joomla for a website project.
I've downloaded xampp n joomla, but have not started installing it yet, I want to get some your advices before I start.
Any tips appreciated.
Many thanks in advances!
