Permissions problem

WEB TMS WEB Core

I've reserved the URL http://+:8000/Project1 in http.sys, and now get the error


 'the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process' 

when I run a freshly created single form test program (One button, one memo, no code).

any idea what might be causing this?

Do you already have a http server running on port 8000 on this machine?

3

Yes, the server is running fine

4

Sorry, you mean another server. No, there's not another one. 

5

It had SQL Server running, but after taking it off, there was no change.

6

Have you tried rebooting your computer?

7

Not for a bit! But yes I have.


Is there a tool that enables me to look for serves listening - assuming the respond with anything at all?

What would be a suitable request I could make from such a tool that would maximise the chance of some sort of identifiable response?  

Otherwise I guess it's a reinstall - it's just all those wretched drivers....

OK, it seems that my machine has IRDMIconfigured on port 8000, TCP/TP & UDP protocols.


HTTP-Alt is on 8008. I could use 8010.

if any of this means what I think it does, can I change the port used by the Sparkle Server & Web Core?

OK, done.

Thanks to prodding by the endlessly patient Bruno and less so Wagner, the problem and solution is this:
Problem:
Running a Webcore app from Delphi resulted in an error.

Solution part 1
The path and endpoint has to be reserved in HTTP.SYS. This is done using one of a number of provided tools: I used TMSHttpConfig.  
Looking at the log on the TMSWebserver (when I tried to run the program), it told me that I had to reserve: http://+:8000.
So using TMSHttpConfig, I did.

Problem 2
now running the program in Delphi gave me a 'the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process'  error.

Solution Step 1
I used a free port scanner called SolarWinds, and scanned ports 8000-8010 on my local IP (192.168......).
This shows me that 8000 was in use by 'irdmi' - a pre-installed service  'Intel Remote Desktop Management Interface', probably preinstalled by the IT company that put the machine together.  
8001, 8002, 8003 were also in use. 8008 is http-alt. 
Anyway, 8010 was clear.

Step 2
So, using THMHttpConfig, I removed http://+8000 and setup http://+:8010 with rights granted to 'Everyone'.
In Delphi Tools|Options|TMS Web, I changed port in the URL entry from 8000 to 8010. 
Pressed Save.

Program runs.

Hope it helps someone or it means I'm just thick.
