I do understand that ' A "default web page" does not "camp on" any particular port.'. I was describing what I saw in the IIS inetmgr GUI. It shows default web page...........port 80 I selected it and chose Delete.

A "default web page" does not "camp on" any particular port. And deleting a web page does not stop a webserver from running. Maybe it is MS's brain-dead way of presenting things that gets you confused. The underlying fact is : two separate processes cannot open the same listening port on the same host. When one process opens that listening port (80 in this case), any other process that tries to open the same one will fail. If Tomcat is now running fine and listening on port 80, it means that whatever you did above, was really stop IIS from running and opening port 80 first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
