Multiple web servers [Solved]

Postby Neetzsche » 28. April 2012 20:55

I've been trying to figure out how can I have a regular apache 2 running on the same computer with a lampp instalation, I already changed the ports on the httpd.conf file so I'll use the port 81 but I can't make it work properly, whenever I try to start the service I get XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
I've been looking for workarrounds but I've failed in my attempt, I'm starting to think it's not a problem of ports, also I tried to start the lampp's httpd service and first I got the binding error (0.0.0.0:80), but as I said I already solved that, yet I keep getting the "Another web server daemon is already running" message.
Is there any way to keep my apache2 server running along with lampp? I'm using the 1.7.7 version with CentOS.

It might be doable in some fashion I have not grokked, but they both rely on the same executable in the end - 'httpd'. (they come from the same source code, but are installed differently)

I hope this helps you understand the issue.

Good Luck

Do you have any further information about how to solve this? I mean, I want to know if there's a way to change the name of the process on XAMPP without troubles (or not big troubles at least). If you could help me or guide me to find a solution would be great. Thank you

Don't worry, I figured out how, it's kinda troublesome but I already made it. Thank you once again.

You mention that you have figured out how to do this, and I am wondering if you would care to share this workaround. Any info would be great. Thanks.

My suspicion is that Neetzsche renamed one of the instances of the httpd executable. (I'm guessing)

Hi,
I have also found that I needed to use more than one version of XAMPP on my Linux workstation and have just finished writing a "how to" explaining the steps needed to make several version of XAMPP co-exist on a single PC. This is more of the nature an "either .. or" arrangement with different versions of XAMPP rather than accommodating the distro's version of the LAMP stack - but IMO running the distro's LAMP stack has a number of disadvantages, including lack of control over the versions of LAMP components.
It's all on my blog at:
http://www.jamesbrice.com/multiple-xampp-versions
and includes a script to swap between versions by "activating" a version of XAMPP chosen from those installed on the system

I hope it proves useful.

Thanks for posting that info -

I think what the OP was asking about was 'concurrent' operation, but I don't know that for sure. He could have obviously made configuration changes to prevent the 'LAMP'/distro Apache from starting, and he was going down the 'port change' route -- so that is what made me think that was his intention.

I have not tried out your method/idea yet, but I will soon. In my case, I created a few virtual machines to house my LAMP/lampp and distro variants. I recently finished that project and have not added it to my 'Guide'. I do see at least one very good case in which your idea would have an excellent advantage -- 'version testing' for PHP code (presuming you made an Alias or symlink to a common ServerRoot).

Good Luck and thanks for the info.
