Interview Question in SQL Server Configurations


 

Interview Question :: Is it possible to run PHP application parallel with asp .net applications


I am a .net developer, but I have a project to complete in PHP. Does anyone know what I should install to be able to run this PHP application. I use Microsoft products (Visual Studio, IIS 6.0, SQL Server). I do not want to mess up my IIS configuration so I can't run my aspx applications. This is my biggest concern. So the safest way is better. I was doing some research and saw tools such as Phalanger and FastCGI. Are these tools useful...I really don't know PHP, I just want to modify an existing application. I believe I will also need to install MySql. What should I install? Versions will also be nice. Also, if you have any references... that will be great! Thx.

RE: Is it possible to run PHP application parallel with asp .net applications?

My contention is that you install a great PHP+MySQL+PHPmyadmin software called xampp

get it here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.ht...

xampp installs a PHP and a MySQL server all by itself. The only thing you have to configure is an admin name and a password. I used it for my PHP apps and it made my life so much easier. I am confident this should do your job. Also, the documentation on xampp is helpful too.

you can mix and match asp.net with php applications and cgi or isapi applications.



You need to download and install php into the machine. I was not able to make it work for a CMS (Content Management System) I attempted to use before DotNetNuke.



I guess trying the one suggested by the previous responder would be ok.



Good luck!
