Hi Gang, I look forward to the forum. I have spent the last few years developing "all kinds of stuff" with .NET, both local apps and web apps.
I am envious of the open source thing and have officially decided to get involved. I live in a windows world and have read about a zillion articles on getting started in a windows environment.
Specifically, I'm looking to run Apache, mySQL, PHP - I think this is a common arrangment. Anyway, I have only one development machine and CAN'T stop IIS/.NET. Is there a way to run apache/php/mySQL and IIS/.NET/MSSQL on the same rig. It's critical that my development environment doesn't get hosed during the install. I'm a hands on type and would rather download files and use the command line than getting a program to install the stuff for me (unless this is crazy?)
I went to the php site and couldn't even figure out what the heck i need to get. LOL. Sorry for the blog, just looking for advice at this piont
.NET newbie want's to go "open source" ;-)

PHP on Windows
I think it's no problem running PHP, MySQL and Apache on a Windows machine.
Try downloading easyphp, it sets up Apache, MySQL and PHP for you and it is actually quite good!
http://www.easyphp.org/
If there are any issues with Apache and IIS clashing, its config file is very accessible.
Best luck,
H

If you don't fancy messing about with more than one web server on your dev machine, PHP can be run under IIS. There's lots of articles around the web on how to do it.
PS. Why can't you write open source software with .NET? Open source is all about the way you license your code, it has nothing to do with the language it's written in.

no problem using both servers on the same rig, just change the port server on ISS to something, ex:3000.
