Run two installations of XAMPP simultaneously [Solved]
Posted: 04. March 2012 18:18
I would like to run a local installation of my phpBB3 forums as well as Wordpress simultaneously. On their own, each works fine. However, if I change the port number of my phpBB3 "copy" of XAMPP to 81 I can't bring up the forum. I changed the following line in my phpBB3 config.php file from:
to
and went to http://localhost:81/forum, but the page keeps loading and nothing ever happens. However, if I simply type http://localhost:81 I get the XAMPP splash page, so I know the port is open and working. Can anyone offer any advice? It seems that I need to still change something in my phpBB3 directory but I don't know what it is. Thanks in advance.
