Access is denied when listen on a port

[George2]

Hello everyone,


I am using Windows Server 2003. When call the Start method of HttpListener, there is the following exception -- System.Net.HttpListenerException: Access is denied.

Any ideas how to grant the access?


thanks in advance,
George

I think you will have to use httpcfg utility in this case although I am not sure, but you can check it yourself.

Thanks Shuja Ali and cjard,


1.

Your ideas give me a lot of hints. I have studied the httpcfg tool, but few information about how to use this tool.

I have found a sample from the below link, which is,

httpcfg.exe set urlacl /u http://localhost:80/StevenCheng/ ; /a DA;;GX;;;WD)

I think it will grant the access to all the URLs whose prefix is "http://localhost:80/StevenCheng/"?

For example, the following 2 URLs are granted automatically by the above command?

http://localhost:80/StevenCheng/folder1/1.html
http://localhost:80/StevenCheng/folder1/folder2/2.html
