You can run both just fine. Just run them. This requires that you are
using the linux kernel's AX.25 with an appropriate device such as a TNC
in KISS mode etc. (aprsdigi always requires that, while aprsd can use
kernel AX.25 or drive the TNC (NOT in KISS mode) directly.)

Are you connecting to it on the right port?

Does the web status page say anything interesting? You can access it at
