I currently have my Abyss Web Server and I had purchased Run BASIC for use on the same machine, but my problem is that I only have port 80 available through my ISP and need to be able to serve both my regular web pages and whatever I end up making for RB.
I've been thinking that both AWS & RB cannot both run off the same port.
Is this a safe assumption?
If this answer is a yes, then I had the idea of using RB to simply take my existing html files and and simply display it as they are using the HTML command, but I wasn't sure if the links or anchors would work the same way.

both servers can't use the same port. Unless you setup something in Abyss that will allow you to run RB in the background. I'm not familiar with that setup though.
I would suggest using a internet port sniffer to find out if any other ports are open on your network. Not sure why your ISP would block all ports coming in. If you find an open port besides 80 you can setup RB to use that port.
You can use an external html file and link it to RB, you just have to reformat the links on the page so that it points to RB. You will have to have RB running on some port number though to do this.

I don't know much about Abyss, but you can proxy Run BASIC behind Apache so that they don't need to share the same port. Apache can host your static content in this configuration.
What are the features of Abyss that make it attractive as an alternative to Apache?

Abyss is very simple to set up.

My ISP, Optimum Online, normally blocks all ports to prevent people running servers with their connection, but for $5 US more, I got a speed increase from 10Mbps down and 2Mbps up to 30Mbps down and 5Mbps up plus the option to host a web and email server using ports 80 and 25. The last time I tried hosting it on 25, Chrome reports it as unsafe port to access.

Can you use a more common port such as 8080 or 8008? -Carl

I was trying to run a quick server on my Acer Aspire Revo and wanted something simple. I had no clue how to set up a web server. I looked around and heard that Apache was hard to set up.
