Performed an upgrade of a Domino server today, from Release 6.5.6 to 8.5.1. Everything was going well until I discovered that the HTTP task wasn't loading. Manually entering load http gave me the error:
HTTP Server: Error - Unable to Bind, port 80, port may be in use
Was IIS running on the server? No. Was there some other process grabbing port 80? A netstat -anb in a Windows command window didn't reveal anything. What about a TechNote? I did find one that seemed to fit the issue:
Confirmed that there was only one value in the field, as the "bind to host name" was enabled.
The curious thing was that restarting the HTTP task sometimes returned another error:
HTTP Server: Error - Unable to Bind port 80, port may be in use or user needs net_privaddr privilege
In a moment of clarity, I decided to Google the problem. Not quite the first hit, but within the top 5, was a post by Ben Langhinrichs. Looking at the server, I noticed that they were running AVG 8. And I finally put it all together. Following Ben's advice, I modified AVG's Web Shield - Web Protection to not scan ports 80 and 8080, restarted the Domino HTTP task, and notified the client that iNotes was now available.
Thanks, Ben, for a great post.

HTTP Server: Error - Unable to Bind
Was IIS running on the server? No. Was there some other process grabbing port 80? A netstat -anb in a Windows command window didn't reveal anything. What about a TechNote? I did find one that seemed to fit the issue:
Domino 8 tests for and returns an error for a misconfiguration of the Server document. Domino 7 did not test for this condition.
If the "Host name(s)" field in the Server document > Internet Protocols > HTTP tab contains both an IP Address and server name when "bind to host name" is enabled, then an error occurs because you do not need to specify both an IP and server name in that field. Only one value is required.
Confirmed that there was only one value in the field, as the "bind to host name" was enabled.
