run viewer with http server on port 80

i go to school at a college where only incoming ports from port 80 are allowed. right now i'm running an apache http webserver on that port.
i was wondering if there's any way for me to run the vnc server on that port as well so they can both be used. i know that two servers cannot share the same port.
i was thinking of maybe putting the java server on a html page which is accessible through the apache server or something of the such.

the only port which can be connected to from outside of my university's firewall is 80. the other ports can be connected to if i run a cisco vpn client but a lot of times, i can't just randomly install that on computers.

Not possible.
There exist a 1 port ultravnc version
( java +rfb) use the same port, but you can not run a webserver on the same machine and on the same port.

If you use the 2 port version, you can host the java on the webserver, but then you need a second port for the rfb connection.

only way to run it is to kill your apache when you want VNC to work..

now that would be hard to do remotely and secure it enough so someone else doesnt kill your apache server

You could try port 443 which is SSL..
