  IIS Manager Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Reply Contact This is IIS 7 in Windows Vista Ultimate. The web site is stopped and when I try to start it the error message (in subject) appears. In EventLog(System) I get the following following errors: Source: HttpEvent Msg: Unable to bind to the underlying transport for [::]:80. The IP Listen-Only list may contain a reference to an interface which may not exist on this machine. The data field contains the error number. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Source: IIS-W3SVC Msg: The World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW Service) did not register the URL prefix http://*:80/ for site 1. The site has been disabled. The data field contains the error number. I'm at a loss. I have no clue as to what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Re: IIS Manager Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Reply Contact This is an issue with binding conflict. There is another application that is using port 80. If you change the bindings for the default website to 8080 [for test purpose] it will work. You can run NETSTAT -ano and find out the PID for the process that is using port 80, then you can compare that PID with the process name in task manager [may be skype.exe?] HTH, AJ

  Re: IIS Manager Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Reply Contact LOL.. Thanks for the heads up.. I just loaded skype and was having problems after this... Been pulling my hair out trying to get to the root cause, I did the netstat and found a listener on 80 but the pid really didn't give a good indication... I wanna move skype off 80... That seems to be a better method since I have control of my router... I might just delay start skype so IIS will own the port first, see if that causes "Smart Skype" to move off the port... Anyway, Thank you! I didn't think skype was on it... Tm.

  Re: IIS Manager Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Reply Contact  Hi, I have a similar issue and the solution on this post did not resolve my problem. Port 80 doesnt seem to be used by any program after running netstat -ano. I also changed the binding from 80 to 8080 just to try that and I still got the same error. I really need help as I have a site that I want to put up. Can someone help me resolve this issue PLEASE. I just cant start the default IIS website.

  Re: IIS Manager Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Reply Contact I would turn off all related IIS services, set them to manual, reboot your machine and type netstat -an -p tcp and see if anything is listening on port 80.

(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Reply Contact did you reset IIS and make sure nothing was contending for port 80?  Check the httperr logs to see what error you are seeing.  Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget
