Hi.

I just got a new job and they are using PHP as their main development language and I'm an ASP.Net developer. My question is, will Visual Studio Development Server replace the WAMP server as the localhost? I want to install Visual Studio 2010 and my worry is that it will overpower WAMP development environment.

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Molefi.

There is only one way to test your theory. And what exactly is "Visual Studio Development Server"?

Hi.

Visual Studio Development Server is the default development server in Visual Studio 2010, the reason I asked that question is that I don't want to install IIS because it will replace WAMP as the localhost and I'll have to go change WAMP's default port from port 80 to something like 81.

Do you mean HTTP server supporting ASP.NET, which comes with Visual Studio?

Yes that's what I mean...I have ASP.Net projects that I'm still busy with and I don't want to change anything that has to do with WAMP or PHP development environment that is already setup on my work PC hence my question.

Any change to install IIS instead of Apache and configure it to support both PHP and ASP.NET?
Besides, Apache can support ASP.NET via the module mod_php (and Mono), but I never tried.

I think I have no choice but to install both IIS and Apache then change the IIS default port from port 80 to something else, my main concern is that I don't want to change anything that has to do with Apache because I'm not that familiar with it.

Anyway, thanks for your reply, I'll let you know how it works out...

Sure it could be a solution, if you don't need to mix PHP and ASP.NET. Sorry, I just don't know if you can make development server support PHP or not, never hear of it...

Wait a second. If you can install IIS, what's the problem? You would not need Apache, because you can configure IIS to support ASP.NET and PHP. Here is the thing: nearly all HTTP servers can support PHP.
