Thank you Ernie,

The registry entry fooled the setup. Now here is where I am a little lost. After combing through every peice of documentation I could find, I still can't get this running.

Here is my setup. Windows 2003 with XAMP installed on the D: drive under d:\xamp\xampp\ then all the folders for Apache, MySQL, Postgres. I have virtual hosts setup in Apache.

I setup LAMS in it's own folder on the D drive under D:\lams. Now was I supposed to install it under the xamp or htdocs folder? Since it is trying to open up on localhost through port 8080 I didn't think that should interfere with the localhost running under XAMP which is port 80? I start go to the link from the page when I start LAMS and it comes up with a 500 context error. The service is definitely started. One step at a time. I am at a lost.

Thanks for any help/direction again.

Deon
