Yes can run on the same machine. Just make sure they are listening on different ports.

Hi,

the easiest (and more secure) way is to change the port of the iis. Right-click on the virtual host(s) in the management console. As far as I remember you can change the port on the "website" tab to, let's say, 6080.

Btw., you may even use the Apache as filter for the iis, e.g. by configuring the proxy module, so that your iis application is hidden. The following takes requests for http://www.yourserver. tld/someapp/* and forwards them to the iis aboard:

ProxyPass        /someapp/  http://localhost:6080/someapp/
ProxyPassReverse /someapp/  http://localhost:6080/someapp/

This adds some more security to your iis, for that the standard threats (code red etc.) stay out because the Apache blocks them. (Especially if there's a firewall in front which makes port 6080 invisible to the outside world.)

Regards,

... and to change Apache's listening port just look for the Listen directive in httpd.conf and change the port there to the one you want.
