Test Server wtih Apache and IIS

I want to create a test environment for Zen Cart on my home computer. Currently I have IIS installed for my ASP.Net applications. Will I encounter problems if I install Apache on the same machine?

Re: Test Server wtih Apache and IIS

As long as you don't run IIS and apache on the same port, you'll be fine. Normally they both like to use port 80 (which is what http:// means on your URLs).
If you run apache on port 81 then you'll have to access your apache sites using http://localhost:81/blah/blah/etc

Re: Test Server wtih Apache and IIS

Is there any special instructions I need to know when I install Apache so it will be on port 81?

This article, found by googling, includes the port 81 concept in its installation discussion:
