As far as OS's are concerned, I'm an equal opportunity bigot, I hate them all. :)
Using these tools on your home PC running some flavour of Windows will work fine. That's the way I work, devel on the WinXP box, ftp the files/changes to my Linux web server. Everything seems to work - excepting the weirdness I am currently having with Slowaris. I don't recommend a production environment using Windows though... Everything will co-exist (I think). I haven't run IIS with Apache at the same time, although I don't see why they would conflict as long as they are both not trying to use port 80. I've run Oracle and Mysql at the same time, works fine if slow (Oracle is a pig on Windoze, er, is a pig). Everything runs as a service, you can up and down them at will if you want/need. HTH | I want to set up my home computer (PIII,Win2000) for development and | testing of php/mysql work. | | I know that both will install and work on a Win2000 box, my | questions | are about potential conflicts: | | My Win2000 came with IIS, are there any hitches to using | php/mysql with | IIS? Should I install Apache, and if so, do I need to completely | uninstall IIS? | | I have a development edition of Oracle 8i running on the | box already. | Will this create conflicts with mysql? Does mysql run as a | service that | I can turn off like Oracle?(in other words, can I turn each on/off | depending which I'm working with? Or are they happy running | side by side | on the same box?) | --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
