*** WARNING: Could not start service 80 for protocol HTTP on host <MyFQDN>

Hi,

I m configuring an external Sap webdispatcher to point to an ICF service

I need to install it on Windows Web server where others web sites are running.

I configured a specific ip for that on the Web servers and enter the DNS name in our domain.

On the the pfl file I define :

SAPLOCALHOSTFULL=<MyFQDN>

icm/host_name_full =<MyFQDN>

and specify icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80

Each time I m starting it I received *** WARNING: Could not start service 80 for protocol HTTP on host <MyFQDN> .........

If I m using another port (Ex:86)no problem with my FQDN.But if I m doing servername:86 it s working also.

It s seems that the webdispatcher don t care about my FQDN.

How can I have the WEBDISPATCHER pointing to this specific FQDN and not all ?

Thanks,

Hi Damien,

You problem is perfectly logical : It's not possible to have 2 programs (IIS and web dispatcher) listening together on the same 80 HTTP port.

There is no configuration that I know on the web dispatcher to tell him to listen only on one IP address.

Summary : what you want to do is not possible.

I had a similar request and I did the following.

I use a Linux box with an Apache reverse proxy to select to distribute the HTTP requests on different web dispatchers. The rules depends from the called URLs.

Olivier
