IIS default web site won't start

Hello,

Run "netstat -ano" in a cmd prompt to find out what process is listening on
port 80.

There is something else taking port 80, you can use a third party utility
called FPort that will tell you what is on port 80. You can download this
utility from
http://www.foundstone.com/index.htm?subnav=resources/navigation.htm&subconte
nt=/resources/proddesc/fport.htm

Hope this helps!

I ran into similar problem i.e. my default website was
marked as stopped. But when I try to restart it, I get the
message that the port is in use.

I suspect my IBM WebSphere Studio may have something to do
with it, especially the Rational ClearCase component. It
seems to schedule batch jobs occasionally ( I guess for
cleanup purposes). After a batch job finishes, it might
not relinquish the port.

I am still trying to verify this is indeed the source of
my seemingly random problem. Meanwhile, I'd be happy to
hear from you if this helps.

Have a nice day.

Ying
