Re: Oracle 9i install ate my Microsoft IIS 5

You are having a problem because by default, IIS and Apache both listen on port 80. Only one piece of software can listen on a port at any one time. If you don't want to change the port, then run one, or the other, but not both. Or, you could modify one to listen on a different port (common ports are 81, 8080). That way, you could have both running at the same time.
