To use Apache webserver and NGINX webserver in single instance
Apache webserver is a free and open-source, cross-platform web server software. It supports a variety of features as a set of compiled modules and also contains core functionality. Nginx is a webserver that is also used as reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTP cache. This tutorial covers the configuration procedure of Apache webserver and NGINX webserver in single instance.

Run the following commands to start and enable your Apache service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# service httpd start Starting httpd: [root@linuxhelp ~]# chkconfig httpd on
Go to httpd.conf configuration file and provide your domain name as your server name. Save the changes and restart your apache service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ServerName ns2.linuxhelp.com:80
Move to Apache root directory and create index.html file.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd /var/www/html/ [root@linuxhelp ~]# vim index.html Apache service is running [root@linuxhelp ~]# service httpd restart Stopping httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd: [ OK ]
Switch over to the browser and provide the machine' s IP or domain name. The screen will show as below.
Now install the NGINX service by running the following command.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# yum install nginx

Complete!
Try starting the NGINX service by running the following command.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# service nginx start
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()
[FAILED]
It has failed because the Apache service is using port 80. Now move to your NGINX configuration file and create a configuration file named default.conf using vim editor.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
Change the listen port to 8085.
Save the changes in the file and try to restart the NGINX service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# service nginx start Starting nginx: [ OK ] [root@linuxhelp ~]# chkconfig nginx on
Go to its root directory and list the files in the directory. Create a file named index.html using vim editor.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd /usr/share/nginx/ [root@linuxhelp nginx]# ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 7 10:35 html drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 7 10:35 modules [root@linuxhelp nginx]# cd html/ [root@linuxhelp html]# vim index.html
Rename the index.html and creating new index.html file
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim index.html
Nginx service is working
Restart your nginx service
Now switch over to the browser and provide the following URL http://your machine' s IP:8085. The Nginx service is running successfully.
