One Pi Two Servers

Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:14 pm

I have looked this up in every search engine out there, and cannot find a solution. I I have a web server running splendidly on my Pi, but I would also like to run a media or VPN server on the same Pi. I understand port forwarding and all of that, but I can't find anything out there that gives me the skinny on whether it can work or not. I ran Apache2 and OpenVPN at the same time, and got conflicts, but that was on an older Pi with what I will call 'not optimal' power supply.
Now that the web server is working perfectly, I don't want to break things by trying VPN or media server again. Suggestions/thoughts/experience/insults are all welcome.

It will work. I have used media servers and Apache. You must stay away from the same port for each server. Port 80 for Apache and another for your other servers, like port 8080 to 8088.
