FIX:

The error message usually, indicates a port conflict with IIS and other application on the system.

The default http port used by IIS is 80.  On desktop systems it’s usually found that Skype when running will cause conflict on port 80.  If it’s the case, please close and exit the Skype and then try starting web site and it should work for you.

 

<

p>Otherwise, use TCP view to find the connections on Local Port using http/80 and address the conflict.
