I tried to install Apache 2.2.16 on a XP machine with IIS 5.
Whenever I try to start, it displays
"Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1"

How to resolve this?

just off the top of my head, it should be 127.0.0.1
You can try installing WAMP, as a bundled app.

Oh, and what about two web servers trying to run off of port 80? Could that cause an issue?

That usually gives a "socket error." But the two servers will need either unique hostnames or unique port numbers to work. Also look out for other Apps like Skype that may try to grab port 80 before either server is loaded.
