Hello

how it is possible to have several instances of apache running, on different ports ? ie one instance on port 80, one on 81, etc...
the archive must be decompress in /opt/lamp/ directory, paths are written "hard", not with variables...
i toughtto do this :
/opt/lamp80/ -> apache running on port 80
/opt/lamp81/ -> apache running on port 81
etc...
but there are a lot of files to modify...
any idea ?

thanks a lot

Hi,

why do you require multiple instances of LAMPP?
You can have Apache run on multiple Ports by just defining multiple "Listen" Options in your configuration. All you need to do is create some VirtualHosts for the new Ports.

I would want to know how to run multiple instances of XAMPP as well.

My reason is that I have two php applications; one is only compatible with PHP5 and the other with PHP4. So, until the latter application becomes available to run on PHP5, I'm unable to run both on the same server.

I would appreciate any suggestions..

I think it's to use PHP 4 and 5 on the same server instead of running 2 seperate servers.

How do I tell apache within xampp to use PHP4 one application (folder) and PHP5 for another?

How do I tell apache to use PHP4 one application (folder) and PHP5 for

another?
With the AddType directive.

BTW:
Are the CGI binaries included in the XAMPP package?

I apologize for the newbie question. I'm new to XAMPP and a novice apache admin. So, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Add Type" directive.

I have two applications in separate locations:

- /opt/lampp/app1
- /opt/lampp/app2

app1 runs only with php5
app2 runs only with php4

Since there is a general command to run apache with either php5 or php4 (/opt/lampp/lampp php4 OR /opt/lampp/lampp php5), I don't know how to make apache run php5 for app1 and php4 app2. I assume I need to add "AddType" in httpd.conf file?

Thanks a bunch.
