Hi
I have installed a webserver application on a server.
Ir works using various ports;- 88/90/1001/92 etc but not on port 80.
IIS was installed on the server but has been removed and the server restarted.
If I run netstat -ano in command line I see that PID 4 is listening on port 80.
From Task Manager I see that PID4 is NTKernel and system.
Is this what is interfering with the webserver?
UPDATE
OK Google is your friend. I found this link
http://serverfault.com/questions/360070/iis-7-0-will-not-release-port-80-when-service-is-stopped-cannot-run-apache-on-pwhich told me to do this:
netsh http show servicestate
and look for this:
Registered URLs:
HTTP://+:80/<SERVICE_NAME>
I found 2 entries HTTP://+:80/REPORTS_SQLEXPRESS/ and HTTP://+:80/REPORTSERVER_SQLEXPRESS/
which have taken over the port.
If I stop these services, take over the port and then restart them will there be issues or will they go and look for another port and be comfortable with it?
