Using IIS on a another port

[Omniscience]

I can't use IIS any longer and as I understand, it's because PHPdev uses port 80. I now changed the port to port 8080 (acording to this instructions

http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=1&cid=AD54386022959334).

Normally I would use this address to look at my ASP-pages:

http://localhost/mypage.asp

but since I'm not using the default port any longer I have to write

http://localhost:8080/mypage.asp

(also according to the intructions at the address above).

Before I got the error "0x8ffe2740" because PHPdev used port 80. Now I manage to start IIS, but nothing shows up on the page except the ordinary error page when a page is not accessible. How can I solve this? If I changed the port fron 80 to 8080 and uses the path

http://localhost:8080/mypage.asp

, what could I be doing wrong when I don't see my page??

Is there another way to watch my ASP-code other than with IIS (and other then publish it on a real server).

if the port for that website in IIS is now actually set to 8080, then there are only a few reasons why you may not be seeing the proper page

1. Try restarting the IIS service. We sometimes notice that ports or SSL changes do not show up when they are first placed into IIS.

2. Is port 8080 being blocked by :
[a] your own PC firewall
the server firewall
[c] your server or PC AV (ours also blocks non-regular ports)

3. Did you try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost?

4. Did you try the actual IP of the server?


Those are the places I would start.
