Running apache if ISS is already installed

[smegil]

Can a person install Apache on your server if ISS is already installed?

I am a php developer but our server has ISS already pre-installed on it and running 20 websites written in ASP.

Developing in ASP is a hastle, would be better if i could do our websites in PHP.

Can anyone share some light in the subject?

Yeah its a simple process.

Change the default port on either IIS or Apache.

For example I changed the port on IIS and now when i want to use apache i enter:

HTTP://Localhost

and IIS

HTTP://Localhost:8080

Hope this helps.

How do u change the port on the server. How does the dns host now where to point to if you have iis and apche installed?

as long as you dont mins typing the port into the url, you can change either the default port of apache(this would be the option if there are live sites on the IIS server) or IIS, heres a couple of interesting links to show you how its done:

alternatively you can try to configure php to run on IIS, never done it myself but:
