Posted by admin in HTTP Server on September 5, 2010
To make both XAMPP and IIS work on a localhost is possible. With a few simple tweaks, you can easily make both work.
Here is how to configure your XAMPP,
1. open the file C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
2. find the line ‘Listen 80′, change it to ‘Listen 8080′
3. find the line ‘ServerName localhost:80′, change it to ‘ServerName localhost:8080′
4. open the file C:\xampp\apache\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
5. find the line ‘Listen 443′, change it to ‘Listen 4499′
6. find the line ”ServerName localhost:443”, change it to ‘ServerName localhost:4499′
after this, restart your Apache server, now go to http://localhost:8080/, you should be able to see XAMPP working. And go to http://localhost, you should see IIS working.
JavaScript String Length

To get string length, you can use some automatic functions that JavaScript assigns to each string. One of them is .length that gives the length of the string. So if you want to get the length of ‘Hello world!’ you can do:
var c = 'Hello world!'.length;

Notepad++ load langs.xml failed
If you open NotePad++ and have the following error message, here is a easy way to fix it.
—————————
Configurator
—————————
Load langs.xml failed!
—————————
The reason you see the error is because somehow, your langs.xml has errors in it. Perhaps while exploring various Notepad++ options you accidentally made unintended changes to it. That’s what happened to me.
To fix the problem, go to the installation folder for Notepad++ and rename langs.xml to langs.xml.bad. Then, in that same folder, find langs.model.xml, make a copy of it, and rename the copy to langs.xml.
You will want to then compare the langs.xml to langs.xml.bad and see if there is anything legitimate that you want back.
