My current place of employment uses the MS stack, and when creating ASP sites, the server listens on a specific port number for each project ie localhost:1525 will point to one project and localhost:1526 will point to another. I can achieve something similar on the LAMP stack with setting the config files manually, but is there a way to automate it? Something in existing IDE's that I've yet to find?
It's just good for designers working together with programmers because then you can use absolute paths (css/js) and it doesn't suffer too much when migrating to the production server...
