WAMP - port 80 and IIS

MargeS · 2008-03-18 00:11:14

Is there anyway to change WampApache from port 80 to something else (eg 8888) as IIS runs on 80. Changing the conf file to 8888 stops the apache service from starting. I'm used to running IIS on 80 and apache 1.3 on 8888. But have installed Wamp so as to get PHP running. TXS for any help!

Use a different hostname for each server, and then use a reverse proxy on port 80 that can decide, based on the hostname, what origin server to contact. Then each web server can be run on its own port - either on the routable interface, or a dummy interface, or the loopback device, and they'll still be exposed on port 80 via the reverse proxy....
