That being said, your first problem is you can't run IIS and apache on the same port at the same time (ie...port 80 is your http port). Next thing, have you done all of the necessary research on how to connect your webserver to the net and let other people see it? There is a lot that has to be done for that to happen as well.

This is a very good start.
Sounds like you had someone suggest IIS and Apache and decided to run both - you need to choose.
Also need to find out your WAN IP because this is what you give to people to find your server. Remember if you have a router and other PCs you need to forward port 80 to your 'web server'.
There's a lot of other variables that need to be taken into consideration when setting up the server but since we don't know them this should get you started.
