This blog is no longer updated.

Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.

If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve
Unbinding IIS from port 443 - running IIS/apache on 80/443
Monday, May 23, 2005 : Stephen D. Carroll, rokus.net

Ran this one through the lab today - -

Windows 2000 Server (2003 also) running IIS. W3SVC (World Wide Web publishing service) binds port 443 upon startup.

Wanted to use an Apache/Tomcat application on SSL/443, but process would fail to start because 443 already reserved.

Production side workaround was to set W3SVC service to manual, start Apache first (and thus binding port 443), and then start W3SVC (443 already reserved, no big deal, IIS still runs - but this is way too manual for an unassisted recovery or reboot).

IIS allows you to select the port for unencrypted traffic (Default Web Site...Properties), however, the port for SSL traffic isn't editable, unless...

A solution that works:

- Install a BS Certificate Server somewhere on a spare box you're about to toss.
- Have IIS request a certificate.
- Approve and install said certificate.
- Once installed, you can delete the values for IIS' default SSL port, and use 443 for Apache.

Update 2005.06.19: Seems that Microsoft wrote a script to do this:
From the c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples directory,
run cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/SecureBindings ""

Even easier than all that certificate servers stuff...
