run IIS and Apache?

[Larry]

I have just added Apache with MySQL to my system using XAMPP. Cannot access
localhost for apache/mysql admin or Apache admin.
Can they co-exist on the same system? Must I stop IIS before starting
Apache?

Port check shows:
Apache (HTTP) 80 using c:\windows\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe
Apache (HTTPS) 443 using c:\windows\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe
MySQL 3306 mysql.exe
Mercury (SMTP) 25 using c:\windows\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe

Yes, they can coexist. You just need to change the port Apache listens
on and when you address it you must append the portnumber to the URL,
like this:
http://localhost:8080/ or http://127.0.0.1:8080/ where 8080 are the
port you have chosen for Apache.

Thank you Jens Peter Karlsen,

I am a complete newbie to Apache.
In my folder c:\xampp\install\package_apache.php I located where it listens
to port 80 and changed all references to 8080. Do I just "open" or execute
this to change the port? Is this the only change needed?

What do I change port 443 for the HTTPS of Apache to and where as it is not
referenced in the above file?

Regards,
Larry

You change it in apaches config file. Don't remember what it is
called. Look in the folder where you installed Apache. After doing the
change restart Apache.
You can also search Google for "Apache Port 8080" (without ""). This
should give you detailed instructions.
