Routing HTTP

I am using Windows XP with IIS and Apache. I want to use port 80, but I
have to turn off IIS to use Apache. I would like to have both servers
running.

I was wondering if there is a way to tell IIS that certain requests
should be routed to Apache on the same machine.

In otherwords can I add an extra static IP address to the local
machine, and any requests that come for that IP address to be routed to
Apache.

I hope this makes sense.

this can be accomplished by modifying the HOST file,
found under windows\drivers\etc\host ( no file extension ).

make sure you use IP's from the private address range.
this will only work for the local network, you would need to configure
a hardware router to get this to work for the wide area network (
internet ).

Global private address range as defined in RFC 1918: 10.0.0.0 through
10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255

Coundt get it to work. When I try to run Apache (with IIS running) I
get a socket in use error.

I tried it as follows: (the path is
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host )

Added a line
172.16.0.1 locala

Added the IP 172.16.0.1 / 255.255.255.0 address to the network card.

Changed https.conf
ServerName locala:80

Tried to start Apache and got the socke in use error. Of course there
is no problem when I turn off IIS.

Maybe I did this wrong or maybe I have to add two IP addresses. One for
IIS and one for Apache.

Any ideas or is this a waste of time?

first off disable IIS and see if apache works
if apache works, disable apache and see if IIS works.

if they work independantly then try the following:

try setting both IP's

also try running one of the servers with port :81 set.
in order to access the server with a different port you will need to
append the port number to the address

http://www.foo.com:81

if that doesnt work, ill try installing IIS myself so i can try and
figure this one out, im sure its possible.

Independently both Apache and IIS work fine.

I can run also Apache on port 8080 and no problem there. But the point
is to have both running on same computer listening on port 80 but
different IPs.

I will try setting up 2 IPs and see if that works.
