[news.eclipse.technology.phoenix] Re: Unable to get WTP/PHPEclipse/XAMPP

["Eclipse WebMaster (Denis Roy)" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm thinking your IBM HTTP server is the one attempting to fetch pages 
for http://localhost.  The fact that Apache does not start correctly 
(encountered an error) also indicated that port 80 is already being used.

At this point, you'd need to either remove the IBM http server so that 
Xampp's Apache can start, or create an alias in IBM http server (/ptp/) 
that points to your project workspace directory (c:/ews/phoenixPTP/ptp) 
 If IBM http server is based on apache, it should have an httpd.conf 
file where you can add

Alias /ptp/ c:/ews/phoenixPTP/ptp
