Apache HTTP server conflicts with IIS

It is always troublesome to install server tools like IIS and Apache, when I was doing my Industrial Attachment I took two or three days to configure IIS to make it work, and this time it is Apache!

Fortunately this time, it is just a simple conflicting problem between IIS and Apache, as when I was installing Apache, I chose the same port 80 for the service, while it is the default port for IIS too. After installation complete, when I attempted to start Apache, it gave me an error indicating "The requested service has failed".

Realizing that it might be the conflict problem, I went to Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Services, and there I found the IIS service, stopped it first and then started Apache service, well, it works now.

Huhu, Got to have my FYP presentation the day after tomorrow, good luck to myself.
