Hello. I installed ROR with InstantRails and it works fine. But later, when I tried to access to localhost via wamp, wamp didn’t work. (I have previous projects sitting in ‘C:\wamp\www’ folder, and I used to access them via wamp’s ‘[http://localhost/](http://localhost/)’) Wamp server starts up on the tray bar as usual but it goes to offline immediately. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you. ---

That’s untrue, unless Windows is even more broken than I thought. I routinely have 4 Web servers running on separate ports on my Mac (Apache on 80, CUPS on 631, Webmin on 10000, and Webrick on 3000). They’re independent and should not interfere with each other at all. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

But as Fred said, if it’s on a clear port, then it shouldn’t interfere with another Apache instance. > Colin ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
