I run a mail server which runs its webmail interface (not sure how it does this as i cant find any html documents in there anywhere so im guessing it is just a stylesheet over the true mailbox structure) which needs port 80 and also a web server which also needs port 80. Is there any way of adapting some forwarding or something which will allow them both to live next to each other?

Are both sites running off the same webserver software (e.g. IIS). If they are, you can use the hostname to differentiate the services, e.g. www.mysite.com and webmail.mysite.com could share an IP address. An alternative is to get a second IP address

 

no web is apache and mail is another 3rd party software

 

In theory you could run both services on private port numbers (81 and 82 for example), then have a piece of software forwarding http requests depending on the hostname header. However, I know of no such software, but I'm sure some geek's already written it

 

You can change the port Apache runs on by editing httpd.conf How do you access the webmail interface?

I have had this same problem, the quickest way to solve it is to add another IP address and assign each service to a separate IP
