You coan run them on different port sby all means.

But running them both on port 80 :? However would the sytem know which server to use? There will be confflicts (you'll get errors in the which ever happens to be later starting up than the other).

Run one on port 8080 and the other an 80...

Alternatively... switch between the two (stop one & fire up the other).

Yeah sure!

Apache - best for PHP developement/testing/hosting...
IIS - worst for above, best for ASP.

8O One, did you say :lol: It has many... I'd suggest an immediate switch if you really love your sanity. lol

PS: Uh Oh! I have that same feeling again. lol d11wtq, how do you always manage it :lol: :lol:

So I can install IIS eventhough I am running apache right now? Anyone know how to specify port 8080 when doing this? I am doing some .NET development (please don't hate me) and I am using WebMatrix's built in server that automatically ports to 8080 so there is no conflict. The only problem is that I have to deploy the pages I developed from within the IDE, instead of hitting http://localhost:8080. I really need to get IIS configured so I can begin local ASP and .NET development so any help / guidance / links to tutorials would be most appreciated.

You can definately run IIS and Apache together. I used to do it a while back.

To specify port 8080:

- IIS managment console : open the property page for your site (or the
default if you wish to change all the site you are hosting) and switch
"TCP Port" to an other value.
