I have code that enables the /opt/lampp/lampp script to read the actual values in the config files for http, https, mysql, and proftpd instead of presuming the defaults. The code uses these config file values when checking the port (i.e. testport).
This allows XAMPP to co-reside with an RPM installation (apt-get, yum, etc) of httpd, mysqld, and any ftp service. This also allows XAMPP to be bound to an IP alias (using identical ports) which provides a discreet environment.
The importance of this ability is that I can now easily run two versions of Apache, MySQL, and PHP without disturbing either environment.
How do I contribute this code to XAMPP?
Thanks,
Jonathan
