Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Running Apache2 and IIS6 on the same server (Win2003 std).

[Tuan Le]

I would like to know if anyone here was able to get Apache2 and II6 to run on the same server (Win2003 std). Due to various reasons, few of my apps need to be running under IIS6 while others require Apache and I only have 1 server (Win2003)

My Windows 2003 server does have 2 separate static IP addresses. However, it seems like as soon as I started the IIS6 WWW service, it will immediately binds to port 80 on all IP addresses. After that, the Apache service obviously can't bind to any IP on port 80. I double checked all of my sites under IIS6 and they are specifically configured to use 1 IP address only (via host headers).

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

And if I configure Apache to run on a different port (such as 8080) then it would work fine.

No two applications can listen on the same port and that includes web servers or else it is difficult to determine where to route to. If you want both to listen to the same port, they will have to reside on separate servers.

As I mentioned in my first post, I do have 2 separate IP addresses on this box. So they should be able to listen on the same port from each IP address.

Anyways, I have found the answer. Here is the link for those that are interested. http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1 It is caused by a feature called "Socket Pooling" in Windows.
