HTTP could not register URL http://+:8080/MyService/. Another application has already registered this URL
Problem :
While running a WCF solution (including a service project and a service host) the following error can occur:
“HTTP could not register URL http://+:8080/MyService/. Another application has already registered this URL with HTTP.SYS.”
I faced this problem when I tried to run some of the exercises while doing my labs in school.
Impact :
Application could not run in normal mode. And application gives an exception that ‘HTTP could not register URL http://+:8080/MyService/’.
Solution:
The exception itself has offered helping hands on how to register Http Namespace by saying(see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353 for details).
I ran the following command under the .Net Command Prompt.
I didn’t get through it yet, because by default the .Net command prompt doesn’t have access to register the Http Namespaces.
I reran the .Net command prompt in Administrator mode (Right Click the .Net Command Prompt in Start Menu, and select Run as Administrator).
The same command worked well in Administrator mode.
Another simple alternate to using netsh http command is to run the Visual Studio itself in Administrator mode.
Note: netsh is useful for a verity of work. Refer the following pages for more detail.
