I had initially installed WAMP on my local machine but as I am  
learning ROR I also downloaded Instantrails and run the install .  
However there is conflict because the ports needed are not available  
(used by previous WAMP install) . How can I run both environments side  
by side without conflict ?

Unless you really need WAMP, you could alway uninstall it, then install  
InstantRails. Or you could change the port assignments for InstantRails.  
Personally i use RubyStack from [bitnami.org](http://bitnami.org), i know that you can define  
the port settings during the install process.
