Wordpress, Wamp and Designer X

I am about to install a local server to do some Wordpress development using WampServer. Can anyone tell me if there will be any conflict with Xara? I'm thinking when previewing web pages/sites in Xara.

Thanks....Gary

xara previews its websites either in the folder you have decided to export it or in your windows temp folder if you haven't yet done so
wamp installs an apache web server which will have no effect on the above at all
if you have a xara site that uses php or mysql etc. you can of course publish the site to /localhost and test your code locally through wampserver

In installed a version of WAMP to support the PHP work I'm doing right now (I'm using EasyPHP distribution). When I fired it up, I found that it complained that port 80 was in use. Possible that Xara was using it when I preview websites locally? (guessing).

Anyway - it was simple enough to set Apache to use port 8080 instead - all conflicts gone now. May or may not apply to your situation, but thought I'd share just in case you run into this.

Probably nothing to do with Xara. More likely that you either have IIS installed on the machine or maybe Skype?

i had the same port 80 conflict
it was skype
i too set up 8080 and all was well

a bit stupid, that, in hindsight
its an office server that shouldnt even have skype on it
would have been better do do a revo uninstall of skype, lol

:thx

In my case, it seemed that, somehow, Windows Firewall had become active again, even though I had turned it off several months ago (I have a hardware firewall between me and the outside world). Once I turned it off, it seemed to address my reported port 80 issue.
