title: My Apache setup alongside IIS
body: <p>I am trying to learn PHP.  I am having trouble getting Apache working correctly on my Vista Home Premium machine.</p>
  
  <p>I have IIS7 running and I would like to have Apache running along with it.  I was looking around on the web and some say that it would be fine having the two together as long as they are looking at different ports.</p>
  
  <p>I left IIS looking listening on port 80 and I edited the httpd.conf file in the apache2triad/conf folder to listen on port 8080 and changed the server name to localhost:8080. When I go to localhost:8080/phpmyadmin the page that allows me to create a database looks like all the page styling is off so I know that something is already wonky.</p>
  
  <p>I enter a database name and click the Create button, then receive a 404 error from IIS. It says that it is looking for a file at:</p>
  
  <p>Requested URL:
  <a href="http://localhost:80/phpmyadmin/db_create.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:80/phpmyadmin/db_create.php</a></p>
  
  <p>Physical Path:
  C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpmyadmin\db_create.php</p>
  
  <p>It's pointing to my inetpub folder but all of my PHP stuff is in the c:\apache2triad folder.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?  Thanks.</p>
