In Windows Server 2003 R2 64 Bit SP2 I have an app which will only use port 8080 but something is already using it. I would be happy to just kill whatever is using it but I can't work out what it is. I have run TCPView and it showed a PID of 3216 with a process of "". I have tried taskkill /pid 3216 but it says:
ERROR: The process "3216" not found."
If I browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080 I get one of the errors below, so it looks a bit like a webserver of some sort. If I try to kill the process in TCPView nothing happens. Can anyone make any other suggestions?
