Apache only for certain things, rest lighttpd

Question

right now the script I'm running isn't fully functional with lighttpd, and some processes still need to be run by apache.

therfore, i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to use apache to handle cgi-bin requests on port 81 or 8080 and lighttpd on port 80.

You need to change the apache port to 8080 or 81 (In main conf and also in VirtualHost) and then enable mod_proxy in lighttpd server.modules section. You can then define proxy.server section to forward particular requests to apache.

Remove the "Listen 80" and subsequent VirtualHost definitions from Apache, and then configure lighthttpd to run on port 80. Note that you'll probably have a rough time maintaining session state between the two instances, but maybe that isn't a requirement for you.
