[users@httpd] port 80 or port 8080

Hello, 

First, I want to say " Thanks Tom for your advice regarding choosing network 
domain". Now, I need another advice regarding installation of Apache on my own 
PC.

I read through the doc for installation of  Apache 2.2.17 HTTP server on 
Microsoft Windows. The Apache can't share the same port with other TCP/IP 
application, even the client application such as Skype, which use port 80.  But 
I want to use Apache HTTP server and also the Skype. Does that mean I have to 
use port 8080 for current user only, or install Apache on a different PC which I 
won't use Skype? I have at least 3 PCs on the same network, one desktop, two 
Laptops. These 3 PCs are connected to a Westell VersaLink Model327W Router, 
which connects to Internet.

Is it easier to install Apache on Linux than on Microsoft Windows?

Thanks. Any advice will be deeply appreciated.

Susan

And if httpd starts before skype (system services usually will) I even
think skype automatically dodges to another port.

You are mistaken, Skype will fail to start and throw out an error message. 

Thanks,

You can tell skype to use another port. (Somewhre onder settings,
alteast on linux and mac)
Then you can install httpd on port 80.

You can use other ports like 8080 but if you do this you will need to
include them in the URL.
