Can I use Apache that installs with JIRA to host PHP pages?

[Everend Thorne]

I have JIRA running on a local server, using the windows installer. I know it installed and runs Apache to serve up JIRA. I want to write some simple PHP pages to access a MySQL db. Can I use JIRA's Apache as the web server? When I install PHP it asks for the configuration directory for Apache but I can't find it. I also don't see Apache running as a service (only JIRA 4.4).

thanks

Standalone jira ships with Apache Tomcat, not the Apache web server. So if you want php you need to install the apache web server yourself. There are lots of good pre-configured LAMP stacks out there...

There is at least one PHP interpreter in Java: http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/quercus/

(there may be more)

You can install Apache with PHP to work on www.domain.tld/ and JIRA works on www.domain.tld/jira/.
