Install Troubles

Kavanagr

I'm trying to get the SMC up and running, but the check keeps failing on port 80 and 443 being open. This is a fresh install of 2008r2 with SQLexpress 2012. I have the local firewall turned off, so that shouldn't be an issue. Any ideas?

    I resolved the issue. Here's what I did:

    1. Get pid that is listening port 80: netstat -nao | find “:80″

    2. Open task manager, go to processes tab and check “PID” in Menu/View/Select Columns…, then look for the process using the PID found in last step.

    3. If it is a normal application or IIS, disable it or uninstall. Some programs, such as Skype, have the option to disable its use of port 80.

    4. If it is a System Process (PID 4), you need to disable HTTP.sys driver which is started on demand by another service, such as Windows Remote Management or Print Spooler on Windows 7 or 2008.

      There is two ways to disable it but the first one is safer:

      a.

      • Go to device manager, select “show hidden devices” from menu/view, go to “Non-Plug and Play Driver”/HTTP, double click it to disable it (or set it to manual, some services depended on it).

      • Reboot and use netstat -nao | find “:80″ to check if 80 is still used.

      b.

      • Launch RegEdit

      • Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP

      • Change the value of start to 4 (disabled)

      • Reboot your computer

    My solution was step 4a.
