Which is complaining of a port in use -- tomcat or a httpd? Can you
post the message your are getting?
These two don't typically use the same ports by default. It may be
tomcat is installed as a service and already running when you try to
start it.

I have installed Apache server on port 80 as per installation recommened.
Problem is port seems to be in use. Tomcat 6 is on port 8080, does this affect
the Apache server in any way?

Subject: Re: apache and tomcat
You're right -- Apache Tomcat doesn't handle PHP especially well. It's
designed to handle and execute code in java web applications built to
the servlet spec very well though.
Think of Apache Httpd as a general web server -- it serves content very
well and with the right modules can hand off some requests to
interpreters like PHP and Perl. Apache Tomcat on the other hand
specializes in providing a container and API for handling Java web
applications -- which Apache Httpd doesn't do at all. As such, Tomcat
Httpd can hand off requests for PHP and Perl to their interpreters but
not nearly as well as Apache Httpd.
They can coincide on the same system as long as they are on different
ports. If you want Apache Httpd to server content generated in Tomcat,
you can use either mod_jk or Apache Httpd's reverse proxy

Can someone please explain the fundamental difference between Httpd and Tomcat? I installed Tomcat 6, but it doesn't seem to be liking PHP a whole lot. Do I need to un-install Tomcat 6 and install Apache 2 on its own? Just a bit confused as I am trying to get Apache and PHP5 working together.
Any words of wisdom?
Thanks,
Richard
