IIS 5 Default Web Site (Stopped)

[AndyLord]

Can anyone help, on my PC's IIS 5 settings the Default Web Site is showing as (Stopped) e.g. Default Web Site (Stopped), but if you try to start the Default Web Site a message appears "Address Already in Use". Also this may be realted when I try to open a development version of a website via IE I get HTTP404 Not Found error.

Many thanks to anyone who can help with this issue.

Have you any other websites or virtual directories installed?

Take a look at iis manager - view the properties of each and check the Web Site Identification. (and advanced bit)

Each site should have a unique IP address/port/host header combination.

Try changing the port number of default website to 81 and access it via:

http://hostname:81/pagename.htm
