This feels like a bad solution, but without knowing more about WHY
"both went down" it's hard to say.

If you want to separate the ERP and website, you would generally be
better off running them on separate servers. This would be best
practice anyway. Barring very widespread outages, that should isolate
the fate of one from the fate of the other.

But as I said, without knowing why they both went down, it's hard to
say.

You can't[1]. You can't[1] share a port between two different services,
and browsers connect based on information in the URLs they are given,
including the port number, and will default to port 80 or 443.

You might be able to do some fiddling with web redirection - tell NGINX
to redirect weburl/* to weburl:90/*. And TLS will add another
complexity to your life.
