Trouble configuring SSL on port 443

[ctwilliams]

I am running WebLogic 5.1 on a Windows 2000 machine. I'm having some trouble configuring WebLogic to accept SSL connections on port 443.

In my weblogic.properties file when I set 'weblogic.system.SSLListenPort=443' and then restart Weblogic, I get the following error:

<SSLListenThread> Unable to create server socket. Perhaps another process is using port '443'.
java.net.BindException: Address in use

If I set 'weblogic.system.SSLListenPort=7002' (the WebLogic default) then everything works fine, but users have to append the port number to the end of the URL, which I'm trying to prevent.

I figured it out. I have IIS installed on this server and it the default website was binding to port 443. I disabled socket pooling and this did the trick.
