    Hi, I have to get Apache running on a server where IIS is already running and listening on port 80. Can I have Apache responding only to <domain>/myapp and IIS to everything else?

    What are my options (if any?)


    thanks Rene

    No, they cannont listen on the same port at the same time.

    I suggest to change Apache default post via httpd.conf to a common secondary port, for example 8080.
    Changing default IIS port is not the best choice.

    The last option is to keep both Apache and IIS configured to listen port 80 but manually start each server as soon as you need it.

    Correct! they cant listen the same port. System will recognise the service who is started the port first. It may be apache or IIS.

    You can run apache on port 80 and using the proxy module you configure asp pages to be run by iis. When someone access a website with an asp page apache takes teh request and returns the images and other static content, it then submits the asp to iis which compiles and returns the results. From the client perspective everything runs on the same port.
