Running IIS and Apache on the same server

You can not have two services offered on the same ip and port numbers.
On the same server, different services (IIS and Apache) need a unique IP/Port combination.

So to run Apache with IIS, you first need to make sure IIS does not bind (i.e. listen) on all ips. The following article will help you disable IIS 6 from automatically binding to all ips on the Windows 2003 Server.

Before IIS6 (i.e IIS5), you simply had to set the metabase property "DisableSocketPooling" to true (and that was it).
For details on doing this see: Disable socket pooling on IIS5
