Help w/ server

[b_silver]

Ok,
Whenever I try to initiate my server, it says their is a
listening error on port 80. I have used the correct ip address
and port #. What else could be causing the problem?

b_silver,

Try using ActivePort to know which application is already using this ports (download it from http://www.protect-me.com/freeware.html ), stop it and then restart Abyss Web Server.

I have the same problem.

Whenever I try to initiate my server, it says their is a
listening error on port 80.

So I downloaded ActivePorts. It says that port 80 is being used by abyssws.exe which is abyss webserver.

Why cant I initate my webserver?

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

You may already have Abyss running as a service?

Look in the Start menu for Abyss and open the shortcut called "Abyss Web Server Startup Configuration" what method of startup is selected?

You will need to change this option to match your preference.

hmm... alternatively, you can also open an MS-DOS prompt, then type:

netstat -an |find ":80"

to verify if there is already another process listening to port 80 before you open Abyss. If netstat displays one TCP socket listening to port 80 then you can figure out which application is listening by typing:

netstat -anb

You can also use...

netstat -anob

...to do the same thing but it generally yields a slower response. More netstat juice can be extracted by typing:

netstat -?
