I just installed IIS on my laptop (I run Windows XP Pro) so that I could follow along with a tutorial on Lynda.com When I went to //localhost/ I get the 404 not found page. I looked back in my Computer Management window and saw that next to Websites under the
IIS expandable menu there is a red stop sign that says error. I click on it and hit start, but I get this error "error 0x8ffe2740" I'm unsure what is going on. Does anyone know what it is or how to correct it? Thanks.
This usually implies that there was a conflict whne attempting to listen on a port. If you have another application running on port 80, IIS will be unable to use that port.
You can change the Default Web Site to listen on another port (81?), or stop the other application using port 80 and try to start the site again.
You can check who is using the port by running the following from your command line:
netstat -p tcp -b
Then look for the process listening on yourmachinename:80.
Let me know if this helped.
