Help with HFS and IIS settings

[pizat2]

I have been using HFS for about 6 months on my server and i love it. I just install a program called ACT! for web that enabled IIS on the server. Now my HFS does not work. It gets a error site that says that i may be under construction and something about IIS. Im not savy at all with IIS. Can anyone help me with settings please. I searched the site and didnt find anything to help me much. Im running server 2003 SP2, static IP.

try this

start
run
services.msc <ENTER>
find for the IIS service
stop it, disable it, nuke it

[pizat2]

I cant stop it, i have to use it for ACT!

[rejetto]

you can use another port for IIS
or just use HFS on another port

you can have thousands servers on your computer

I did change the port from 80 to 21, and it still doesnt work.

HFS doesn't work?
what does the self test say?

[pizat2]

Error  "The test failed: Server does not answer, you may be behind a firewall" The thing is i didn't change the firewall settings at all.

[rejetto]

so you not using any router, are you?
try disabling the firewall while you test

[pizat2]

Well heres the thing i have a router, HFS worked great untill i installed ACT! program that uses IIS. I didn't change any firewall settings, so im pretty sure its not a firewall setting considering it worked before IIS was enabled. Its got to be something els.

You can't use 21, it's reserved for FTP. You have to use a port above 1024, like 8080.

i already considered this. my advice is meaningful anyway.

yes, you cant use 21, but you are not restricted to ports above 1024. You can use port 81, for example, aswell if you want.
