Hm, well 8080 is fine, I'm not sure why IIS won't start...but MS probably is
freaking out that opensource is actually taking over it's domain (no pun
intended) =)
> I set Bind to *
That's good, whatever IPs that are config'd on your box apache will bind to
on 8080

Yes you can set ServerName to domain.dev or whatever.foo the reason that
you'll add the entry to your HOSTS file is because most likely you're not
running a DNS server to authentically map that domain to your IP. Windows
looks at HOSTS before it goes to a DNS so that way you can map that domain
to your local host without having to mess with dns or anything and simulate
a production environment (that HOSTS file is quite intersting, try the entry
"216.136.171.205 microsoft.com" and then visit microsoft.com, you'll be
surprised... =) (NOTE TO VIRUS CREATORS: That would be an interesting
hack...to add an entry to the hosts file that does that mapping...oh...that
would get the big BG mad...)
After you've been doing this for a little while, you'll have to get an old
box (like P200 or something) to stick linux on and have that be your dev
server...your EYES will be opened...trust me, the MS empire won't always be
as vast as it is, TUX is alive and moving!)

Subject: RE: [PHP] NT5 Sub Domains
Jonathon,
Thanks so much for your help!! Okay, I have downloaded and installed
Apache. And to my utter surprise...it's working!! You're right, the fact
that it does not have a GUI is the reason I was scared of it. =)
I set the Apache Port option to 8080. Is that good? I stopped the IIS
service. And now I can't get it to restart, not sure why...
I set Bind to *
Should I set the ServerName directive to domain.dev? Or does this have to
be done in the HOSTS file you mentioned?
This is really sweet. =)
