HttpSetServiceConfiguration completed with 183

[Alex Horan]

I am trying to set the IP address on my multi IP'd server that IIS6 will listen on.
I have stopped the HTTP service.
I use the command httpcfg.exe set iplisten -i 192.168.0.17

And I get the following message back
HttpSetServiceConfiguration completed with 183

I have googled the web and news groups and I cannot find this error anywhere - can any one shed any light on this issue?

OK - I managed to sort this out myself.

First I ran the following command

Httpcfg query iplisten

This gave me a list of all the IP addresses that the HTTP service will listen on.

I then used httpcfg delete -i xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to remove the IP addresses I didn't need.

Once I had cleared the list I used my original command and this time I was successfully.

Cheers - Alex

Hello,

httpcfg returns Win32 Error codes [1], and 183 means "Cannot create a file
when that file already exists." [2]

Now the question is...what file already exists? I can look at the source
code for this utility later(this weekend) and see if i can figure something
out, unless you have already solved it.

The file that already exisits - I think that is refering to the fact that the IP address was already on the listen list. I was expecting a code '0' - which is why I posted here. SO it was working all along - it just wasnt telling me that fact (clearly).
