IIS won't start

edited April 2006 in Science & Tech
I need to run IIS so I can test my ASP scripts, but when I click on the Start button, it tells me "Address already in use". I just installed it about 3 hours ago with no problems. I'm running Win2k and know basically nothing about ISS. Help? :werr:




//edit: IIS != ISS :banghead:

    Do you mean IIS, or "Internet Information Services"? ;)

    Try to reboot the computer to see if that'll free up port 80.

    If not, there is a awesome tool that will spy on processes to see what ports they are using. The program, however, is known to cause problems (processes crash and/or Windows BSODs).

    So, with warning, I link Inzider. Very nice tool when it works... :o

    MAKE SURE TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE RUNNING INZIDER IN CASE OF BSOD!!!

    If it works fine, find out what's using port 80 on the same IP as IIS is trying to. That's what's stopping IIS from running..

    I reboot, same prob (I'd done that previously as well). Ran the prog - full text of what it printed:

    D'oh... Reading the docs...
    On Windows NT,inzider is unable to check processes that are started as services.

    :banghead:

    Try binding IIS to your actual IP vs. "(All Unassigned)". If that doesn't work, try chaning the port to 81--see if in fact there is something on port 80 already.


    You can IM me if you'd like. :)

    TCPView from www.sysinternals.com will list all processes using UDP/TCP ports with both the local address and remote address if any.

    Changing to port 81 fixed it.

    :scratch: I still don't see what's using 80...


    //edit: yes, i did DL that prog by the way, thanks! There is nothing using port 80 the best I can tell...

    Problem with using anything other than port 80 means that you have to type the server address with :port after it, where as 80 is the default and doesn't need to be typed.

    Are you sure you haven't installed Apache or something else at some point? Or maybe IIS is running twice?

    I had similar issues with IIS. I had attempted to reinstall IIS and recieved the same error. My resolution was to go to task mgr and stop inetexplorer.exe then go to add remove windows components and check iis and the required sub components. This time IIS finished installing quickly. Then I started the snap in at by double clicking C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc

    as a quick check, have you tried hitting http://localhost:80? I'm guessing if there is something on port 80 it's a web server of some description, so hitting it with a browser should get you something if there's something there.
