NGINX & HTTPD (Apache) conflicting port bindings when restarting EC2

Can we get a fix for this possibly through redirection with iptables or NGINX Reverse Proxying?

NGINX and HTTPD are both configured to bind to port 80, which is a conflicting issue when stopping an instance and then starting it up again, because of this I cannot start both. I’m stuck with only starting one therefore rendering both of them useless since they work together.

THESE BOTH APPLY TO NGINX & HTTPD, HTTPD IS ONLY SHOWN BELOW BUT IS THE SAME FOR NGINX.

# netstat -ltnp | grep :80

# journalctl -xe
