HTTP Server: Error - Unable to Bind port 80, port may be in use

Hello all,

I get the following error on Domino Console

"

HTTP Server: Error - Unable to Bind port 80, port may be in use

"

and also the http server never starts, its getting shutdown with the above error.

I have tried many things like, disabling firewall, IIS none of them worked.

Can any one tell what I can do? I want to change the Domino’s HTTP port(80) to something else. I could not do it through webadmin as HTTP server is not running. Is there a way to configure via notes.ini.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Prince

I would to a telnet to the server to the port 80.

Or better yet, open the hostname in a browser to see what responds.

You can also change the port through the administrator. Configuration document, ports section.

Subject: how to find out what is using port 80

Hey,You could try to see what is using port 80 by the following commands

windows: netstat -oan|findstr 80

linux(and maybe unix): netstat -lnp|grep 80

The PID (last column) would most likely be your offending program.

Hope this might help
