I am relatively new to Filemaker Server. I just downloaded the demo to test it out and I got an error saying:

To install Filemaker Server, ports 80 and 443 must be available.

I currently have an apache web server running on the machine and I know I am using these ports so I am not surprised by the error.

What is the best way to go install FMS with a pre-existing apache server running?

Is there a way to change the ports Apache uses? Or should I go about this in a different way? Any help would be great!

P.S. I am on a late 2012 mac mini with OS X Yosemite running Server

Your best bet is to change the port where Apache is running. By default, Apache sets the port to 80. You can change this in your Apache httpd.conf file. Usually, this file is located at /etc/apache2 on a mac. Change the line in the file with the Listen directive to for example something like this:

Listen 81

Don't forget to also change the port forwarding settings of your router if your server should also be available outside of your network.

Reference to the Apache docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#listen
