Can WAMP and EasyPHP live together and why is that true?

Yes, they can. You might take a performance hit from running both OSes at once (which you can do using a VM), but as long as you don't try to make them share resources (e.g. Ports and config files), they won't even know the other exists.

I've been using WAMP to work with PHP. These days after joining PHP mailing list from php.org, I want to have a try on EasyPHP. Though I'm not confident to get on alone with EasyPHP :) So my question is can WAMP and EasyPHP be installed the same time on Windows7 (or Ubuntu OS)?

Windows-7 ubuntu install wamp easyphp link|improve this question edited Aug 5 '11 at 4:50 asked Aug 5 '11 at 3:27Nam Gi VU2,307841 70% accept rate.

1 I don't see why not. You could probably even run Windows in a VM and give the WAMP a different port, and run both servers at once. – bdares Aug 5 '11 at 3:34 @bdares I just worry the conflicts may occur - Apache/MySQL settings of WAMP would override ones of EasyPHP and vice versa.

What do you think? – Nam Gi VU Aug 5 '11 at 4:17 1 Install them to different folders. You're even installing them on different OSes, so the class paths and such will be different.

They happen to share the same physical machine, which means that if they are grabbing for the same ports then you'll have a conflict, but otherwise there is nothing to worry about. – bdares Aug 5 '11 at 4:20 I've tried to install EasyPHP and see that their Apache use port 8888 which is not conflicted with WAMP (while WAMP default to use 80 often conflicted with IIS). EasyPHP seems to be smarter ^_^ Just don't like their icon/logo very much though – Nam Gi VU Aug 5 '11 at 5:23 @bdares Would you put your answer into an SO asnwer so that I can pick it up as accepted?

I notice that WAMP and EasyPHP share the same MySQL databases. I'm not sure if they share the same Apache and/or PHP installation? What do you think?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
