Thanks to this article, I was linked to this article, which, after giving my PC two IPAddresses, was able to have IIS and Apache living happily on the same PC at the same time.
I also added the following lines in my hosts file so that IIS could run normal w/o interfering with my playtime:
192.168.1.99 localapache
192.168.1.2 localhost #Required since I added two ip addresses
I want my Apache/PHP/MySql to go to .99 and IIS to use .2.
Now, I'm down to configuring MySql. According to XAMPP's control panel, it starts/stops when requested (e.g. ) . However, when I try to run mysql.exe, I get the following error message:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
The only changes to mysql that I've made is adding the following line to my.ini:
bind-address="192.168.1.99" #.99 is my Apache address
Is there some other mysql configuration change I need to make so that mysql looks to 192.168.1.99 and not localhost?
