Web Server Will not start

[#1]

I am trying to start the Qlikview Web Server but it is throwing an error. I have looked at the event logs which is shown below. I do not find IIS running on this machine. Can anyone give me a detailed fix for this issue? Thanks in advance.

Service cannot be started. System.Net.HttpListenerException: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

at System.Net.HttpListener.AddAll()

at System.Net.HttpListener.Start()

Hi,

Change those lines in Config.xml to for example Port 81

<Config>

<Port>81</Port>

<HttpsPort>-1</HttpsPort>

<TunnelHost>localhost</TunnelHost>

<Synchronous>False</Synchronous>

<ConfigUrl>http://_:4750/qvws.asmx</ConfigUrl>

<TunnelUrl>http://_:81/scripts/QVSTunnel.dll</TunnelUrl>

<QvsStatusUrl>http://_:81/QvAjaxZfc/QvsStatus.aspx</QvsStatusUrl>

<LogLevel>Information</LogLevel>

<UseCompression>True</UseCompression>

<InstallationPath>C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QvWebServer</InstallationPath>

<QvsTimeout>60</QvsTimeout

Hello!

I usually do this when I have problems at some installations.

Open CMD and type netstat-ano. Now you can see the PID, which use port 80.
Open Task manger and add column PID. Find the correct PID and see what process collides with the port 80.

I know some antivirus program use port 80. If you can't close the program that use this port, then you have to change the port no for QV Web Server as T Johnson suggest.

I was running QlikView server on my laptop and it turned out that the culprit was Skype - switch Skype off and Web Server starts fine!   If you have Skype on a proper server might I respectfully suggest you have a polite discussion with whoever installed it!!

Turning off Skype fixed it for me too.
