[iis] Which port we can use to run IIS other than 80?

IIS does not work when I start applications like Skype since it also uses port 80.

Which port can I use to run IIS other than 80? (8080 does not work)

Also remember, when running on alternate ports, you need to specify the port on the URL:

http://www.example.com:8080

There may be firewalls or proxy servers to consider depending on your environment.

I'm going to make a few assumptions and come at the problem from a different angle... in that because you have skype installed and running on the same machine, that it is not a production machine and instead used for testing / development?

If so, you may wish to look at alternatives to IIS completely to alleviate your issue. If you use IISExpress or the web server built into recent versions of Visual Studio, they will automatically pick a port for you.

Of course this does mean that it's not particularly useful for giving other people access, but is fine for local development for personal use.

I think the other answers probably offer a better alternative in most situations, but this may offer a different insight.

Here is an intro to IIS Express: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/860/iis-express/

you can configure IIS in IIS Mgr to use EVERY port between 1 and 65535 as long it is not used by any other application

Port 8080 might have been used by another process in your computer.

Do netstat in command prompt to find out which server/process is using it.

Have a look at this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_number) it gives you full explanation on how to use port number

Well you can disable skype to use port 80. Click tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Connection and uncheck the appropriate checkbox.

You have to configure the port first for example 127.0.0.1:91 then you need to allow access to port 91 from windows firewall->>advance setting->>inbound rules->> new rule. then check port->> assign new port (91). then next to finished. After this 127.0.0.1:91 should be accessible from the web.
