Does MBS bind port 80 as well?

Hi,

 

It appears that "something" on my system is bound to port 80, but all I see with a netstat -bano is:

 

  TCP    0.0.0.0:80             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4        Can not obtain ownership information

 

I also see similar information for port 8096, which I know is bound to MBS:

 

  TCP    0.0.0.0:8096           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4        Can not obtain ownership information

 

Does MBS bind port 80 as well as 8096?  If so, this is something that should probably be changed, since it prevents the running of any other web-server.

 

Thanks!

Thanks - I actually found the issue.

 

Apparently in Windows 8.1 (at least - maybe earlier windows as well) http.sys actually binds port 80 and applications are 'supposed' to use it via calls to that.  Unfortunately the particular webserver build i wanted to use doesn't do that so fails.

 

I've "worked around" the issue by installing the webserver on port 8080, which isn't ideal, but "good enough" for me.

 

I tried disabling http.sys, but oddly doing that broke MBS as well...
