hello friends,
I'm a fresher (& novish) in this Dotnet world. I got stuck with a
problem - in my XP machine, I installed IIS 5.1 & Dotnet framework.
Then I installed Oracle 9i. Afterwards, IIS stoped to work
anymore....it seems IIS & Oracle shares the same port no(80). So I
removed Oracle. Now IIS works again. But my problem is - I've to to
with both dotnet & oracle - how to achieve this?
Plzz help. Thankz in advance......

You can change the default port for IIS. On the properties page for the
Default Web Site (in IIS admin), change the TCP port property to
something other than port 80. Restart IIS.

thankz KJ, well I did just that. But still there is problem. Say for
example I change it to 84. Now when I type http://localhost:84 & press
return key - the welcome screen comes out,but the second window that
comes out with the iis help screen does not-i mean it does saying
"cannot find server". I tried to refresh it but again without any
result. I changed the port no to others like 88 etc....but all in vain.
Plzz help!!

This is because the virtual directories under the default web site
(such as iishelp) still have their default port property set to 80.

If that is so, how to change the port no of the virtual directories? I
go to their properties tab & did not found any option to change the
ports.
