Hi there,

Risk? There is no risk as long as both the service are running on secured & individual port. By default IIS & Apache are designed to run on port 80 which is the HTTP port as well. You need change the default port of either IIS or Apache. Edit the httpd.conf file in order ro change the server port.

Just in case, if your server is behind a firewall, make sure to edit your firewall rules to be able to accept inbound connection on the newly assigned port number.

Hope it helps, Good luck & Take care.

In the httpd.conf round about line 122

You put
Listen 8080
then you acces apache through
http://localhost:8080/

and IIS through http://localhost

To run both Apache and IIS web server simultaneously

in windows:
we follow a very simple and easy method.

Logic: By default both the servers have the same port number:80.


to solve or purpose we have to change the port no. of either of them.Follow the procedure below:


To change APACHE WEB SERVER PORT NUMBER
----------------------------------------

Most Important Point: Don't forget to stop both the servers before
performig the entire procedure and restart/start the services after
you are finished eith your work.



1)start ->control panel->Administrative tools->Services->stop APache2


2)Open the Apache config File C:\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf or go through
----------------------------
Start -> All Programs -> ApachePhpMysql(if u have installed ApachePhpMysql

other wise look for other path but the file name will remain same)->

Config -> Apache (notepad file)

look for Listen 127.0.0.1:80 .In my Computer its on line no. 10

change 80 to 8080(preffered) or some othe no.

save the file and close it.


3)start ->control panel->Administrative tools->Services->start APache2


4)open Web browser and type http://localhost:8080/

if the screen shows "Apache is working" (in bold letters), you r done


5)Next you can run asp.net through http://localhost/

So Now both of your servers can run together.



Hopefully you Will Find the solution of your problem.

Thanx

In case this method does not gives desired result. then change the port no. of

Hello friend, you can run both Apache and IIS in same machine in 80 port, If you have more than one IP.

See my article for details at http://code4fun.senthil.name.
