Apache and IIS on same server?

Apache and IIS on same machine

[worstofboston]

Two questions, please:

1. Sounds silly... but how can I tell if Apache is installed? Our web server is currently using IIS but I want to start a Mambo site and it requires Apache. How can I tell if Apache is there, waiting to be installed?

2. Can I run IIS and Apache on the same box? I would like to have our regular IIS site up there for the world to see and the Apache site internal, until it is ready to be launched.

Thank you so much.

1)You can run phpinfo.php or perl environmental variable script to check if the web server is apache or IIS. Or you would need to talk to the web server administrators / support

2.) A web server needs port 80 open for listening/responding traffic. If IIS is running, Apache can not listen to port 80 traffic. However, Apache can be made to run on different port and the URL needs to have this port number for accessing it. Still, running 2 web server programs might cause performance issues, depending on how the setup is.

I have no much idea about it, lets look for a better answer from someone.
