I am using IIS to publish share point/ OWA and it recently stopped working. I went into IIS and try to restart the sitee and I get " the process can not access the file because the file is being used by another process" I ran "netstat -ano to see if the was another process that was using the port but there was nothing there for port 80 or 442. I went into the register to see it the listenonly key was there but it is not. I have check the web to see if there is anthing else that I can try but have not found anthisg that fixes the problem. Please help.Gregory Gavin

I would suggest a reboot to clean what has ahold of your file, make sure anitivrus programs are not real time scanning your web directories, they tend to be the culprits.:P Advice offered, If you need more help it is advised to seek the council and advice of paid professionals. The answer is always 42, or reboot.

Hello Mr X, I am submitting it to the forum you suggested Thanks Gregory Gavin

Hi Gregory, Thank you for your post. Please read the KB890015: If port 80 is not being used, you must then examine the ListenOnlyList registry subkey on the computer that is running IIS. Regards, Rick Tan
