Unable to get Tomcat on Windows XP on available port:80 with IIS 6 on port:8080

[Jeff Tanner]

Hi

I am running two service on my Windows XP x86 64 bit box.

Service A using IIS on port:80
Service B using Apache Tomcat 5.5.17 on port:8080

This setup is operational, but not correct port assignments. There is a restriction my Service B (Tomcat) that it must run on port:80.

So I need to switch services to different ports.

First, I switched Service A to use IIS on port:8080 (note: this is default service), making port:80 available.

Next, I tried to get Service B using Apache Tomcat 5.5.17 to run on port:80 and my Windows XP will NOT give it port:80. My box allow my Apache Tomcat have any other port but NOT port:80.

Why?

Thanks

How did you switch the port and what do you mean by "my Windows XP will NOT give it"?

And did you stop IIS and restart it to give it a chance to switch to the new port assignment?
