IIS - sharepoint/default website port number confusion
Hi, I have MOSS 2007 installed with IIS V7. My default web site port is 80. When I created a new web application for my main sharepoint portal I also set it to 80. So obviously now the default web site port shows as stopped in IIS and it won't start. What are the best practices. Should I change the port number for my portal to something else? I mean is it even a good idea to have sharepoint on port 80? If so, how do I go about changing the port number for my portal site? any help appreciated.

Hi, you should put any site on port 80 to be access by the users , the different thing here is the binding in the IIS and alternate access mapping , have a look at this for more info http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298636(office.12).aspx

Hi, Simply use Host Headers for all sites, then every site can be on port 80 or assign multiple IP Addresses to the NIC and have each Site on a seperate IP -Ivan Ivan Sanders My LinkedIn Profile, My Blog, @iasanders.
