Problem |
Trying to start a wbsite throws: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process while trying to start a website Using cmd and command prompt: netstat -ano> c\temp.txt To find what process is using prot 80 or 443. You find it is wspsrv.exe and this is part of ISA server (in our case isa 2004) |
Solution |
Open Services, and stop: Microsoft Firewall - You will not loose remote control of the server doing this. ( I thought you would). Then start the IIS website or sites. Then restart the Microsoft Firewall services. |
Additional Comments |
It appears that sometimes the ISA firewall grabs resources before IIS does. This prevents sites from starting. |
