ok so im trying to move this guy to a new server. well thankfully instead of getting some cpanel, and a ftp username and pass I got a remote desktop and was told "do whatever".

*sigh*

there is no php installed, IIS is the web server, no smtp server setup.

what I want to do is say screw IIS let me use apache where at least I know what I am doing. problem is its a shared host and I don't want to mess with the websites that are on there right now. Is there a way to run apache and be like "whever someone enters http://ip_address_here it will just use the apache server, else use the IIS server"??

do you understand?

You'll have to change the ports they are listening under. Change apache port to 8080, instead of the default 80.. then access it http://localhost:8080
