I am running (and learning) IIS on XP Pro. Not too nuts about IIS. Can Apache be installed while IIS is running? OR do I have to completely remove IIS first. Also, will Apache have any conflicts with Serv-U Pro?
TIA
Andy

..well rigth now i've been having some trouble whit with my pc, therefore with all my programs. I need to format my C drive and then install a new fresh copy of my OS and my programs. I would not install two http server since they need port 80 to work and they can't share it.
I install apache, but forgot to stop IIS service, then apache was not working properly.
I like apache since is free and easy to use, just have to read a little bit to understand how to set it up using httpd.conf file!!

Apache is lightweight and a breeze to set up for a basic http server, unlike IIs. But if you want to get more advanced with your webserver with add-ons like php, perl and sql, I personally have found it easier with IIs. You can run them both from the same machine, but they can't be run on the same ports, so only one server can occupy the default port 80.
