XAMPP & IIS Running both concurrently.

Is anyone running a similar set up?

I'm just starting to get into more serious web development and I've had XAMPP running for awhile now, but my latest client wants an ASP platform and I'm having a hard time getting both Apache/XAMPP running with IIS running.

I've changed the XAMPP port in the httpd.conf file and I can access the XAMPP home page through localhost:81, but I can not get it to work for my vhosts. And although I see the IIS start page when I go to localhost, I can't seem to get the ASP pages to display correctly.

Can someone help me out?
 
Well the best way to use IIS and Apache at the same time is to use a reverse proxy. You can get ISAPI-REWRITE paid version that supports reverse proxy then use a regular expression to intercept url requests. Use a DNS service like DirectNic to push the domain name to your server and ISAPI-REWRITE will shoot the domain name www.yourdomain.com to your apache server while your IIS server recieves whatever domain you have it set to through the mmc.

To see ASP on your page make sure its an available the tabs 'Home Directory' and 'Documents' are setup properly to allow asp scripts to be run.
 
That sounds like a lot of work for something that doesn't need to be done.

I have both IIS and Apache running fine on separate ports, I just can't get my vhosts to work. If I move the sites to the htdocs folder they run fine.
