Users who install Domino Server on a Windows 2000 operating system may find they cannot run the HTTP service, because a port needed to do this is already being used by the operating system.

If a user sees the following messages in the Domino log, then they will need to make a change to the Windows 2000 configuration:

HTTP Socket bind error, hostname/ip <servername>
HTTP server: Could not bind port 80. Port may be in use
HTTP Web Server shutdown

To change the Windows 2000 configuration:

1. Choose Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Services.

2. Right-click on World Wide Web Publishing Service and choose Properties.

3. Under the General tab, click on the Startup type drop list and select Manual.

4. Click on OK.

5. Close the Service dialog box and restart Windows 2000.

6. When you run the Domino server you should now no longer see the error message in the log.
