Hi Jeffrey!

This error code means that some other application is using the port IIS
wants to use (usually port 80 unless you have changed that).

Open a command prompt (Start->Run, cmd) and type:

netstat -ano

Check the PID of what is listening on port 80, and match it to what is
listed in Task Manager. This should tell you what application is currently
using port 80.

To solve this, you can either change IIS to listen on another port, change
the port of the other application, or shut down the other application.

This should solve your problem.

Good Luck!
