Installing WAPT on a web server that already has Apache

Hello.

I would like to test your WAPT solution to automate our software updates.
I would prefer not to install a new machine but to use it on our existing web server.

Our web server hardware is an Intel i5 with 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive.
The operating system is Debian 8 Jessie, which already has Apache2 installed on port 80.

Our intranets are all in child directories of /var/www, so nothing is in mydomain/, but rather mydomain/myintranet.

Would this cause any problems for WAPT or my intranets?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

Hello,

change WAPT ports 80 and 453 and restart your services

Thank you for your reply.
So it's doable! I'll get started on installing the server.

If you have anything else, don't hesitate to share; I did exactly the same thing yesterday ;)

Actually, there's no need to change the ports.
`mydomain` redirects to the WAPT main page,
`mydomain/glpi` redirects to my GLPI page,
and `mydomain/wapt` correctly redirects the WAPT executables.

My only problem is that `https://mydomain` returns something else; I must have an .htaccess file to modify in my root directory.

Anyway, thank you, I'll look into the rest of the installation since I have two different networks to manage, and my server is accessible from both.

The most logical approach would be to configure Apache using virtual hosts
