Tip: A web server typically operates on, or "listens to," a computer's TCP/IP port 80. Only one
running process can listen to a given port, so if another process on your computer — for example,
third-party SCADA software — is already listening to port 80, then it and the web server process
may conflict with each other. You must either configure one of the processes to listen to a different
port or use Task Manager to end the conflicting process. If you cannot identify the conflicting
process, then in Windows, open Command Prompt and enter the following command to get a list of
all networking processes:
netstat -a -o
