I have been terribly unsuccessful in getting a PHP server running on my new Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 64-bit. It comes with IIS, which is great for coding ASP.net sites, but I also wish to do PHP sites also, and II7 is just impossibly complicated I suppose for me that has been a 32-bit guy on XP for so many years!
As I am pleased with XAMPP in all my other environments (Linux, OS X, and Windows XP) I'd love to run XAMPP on my new box. That way I can just stop IIS, start up XAMPP and have it work (hopefully). but then swtich back to IIS7 and ASPX if need be.
Has anyone had any luck or success in running XAMPP on a Win 7,64-bit environbment? I understand there is an issue in running a MYSQL 32 bit with Apache 32-bit on a 64-bit machine.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Cheers!
