IIS running on Port 80 but cannot be reached

[Anonymous]

I am trying to install Vault onto a server, but it is saying that it is not responding to an http request on port 80. IIS is set to use this port, is there anything else that could stop the request??

Could be a proxy server, or perhaps another application grabbing Port 80?

What happens if you open a web browser, and try to access: http://localhost?

As Jeff stated, this could be caused by a proxy server.. It could also be
caused by a firewall running or virus scaning software. Whatever is blocking
port 80 needs to be configured to allow traffic on port 80.

Other things that can cause problems with port 80?

Is IIS pre-configured to use the default web site for any other
internet/intranet web site on this server?
Do you have any other software installed that is using IIS (like Cyco
Meridian)?

Here's something that can help you determine what process is using port 80
(or any particular port for that matter)...

1. Go to a MS-DOS command prompt (Usually under Start Menu | Programs |
Accessories | Command Prompt)
2. From the command prompt (eg. C:\documents and settings\user>) Type
"netstat -a -o -p tcp" without the quotes. This will
show your tcp connections and open ports. Look for the line that references
the HTTP port.

It should look something like this:

TCP yourmachinename:http yourmachine.fullyqualified.domain.name:0
LISTENING 1234

The last column is the process id (pid) of the process listening on that
port. Remember this value (eg., 1234)

3. From the command prompt, type:

tasklist /fi "pid eq 1234" /v

4. Look in the left hand column. It will show the program that is grabbing
the port.

Hope that helps,
Bob

Here is something else to try.

Open the Internet Information Services Manager.
Navigate to the Default Web Site
Right-click on the default Web Site.
Select the browse option.
Does the Under Constructioin web page appear or does an error web page
appear?
