Plesk won't start on port 8443

jrecho

New Pleskian
After an automatic update Plesk 8.2 won’t start. When using the service monitor. I start it then it goes right back down.

When I went to IIS and changed its port from 8444 it worked. Can anyone help ???
 
It says that is can not bind to the port 8443 because its being used by another process.

its on a french server but here is one of the events

Impossible de lier vers le transport sous-jacent pour 0.0.0.0:8443. La liste IP d'écoute uniquement peut contenir une référence Ã_ une interface qui n'existe peut-être pas sur cet ordinateur .Le champ de données contient le numéro de l'erreur.

Well then you should find what process has occupied this port using for example the following command:
netstat -anbo | findstr 8443

It will return something like:
C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin>netstat -anbo | findstr 8443
TCP 0.0.0.0:8443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4
TCP 10.55.60.101:8443 10.55.47.33:55526 TIME_WAIT 0

And then find process name by its PID (in this example it would be 55526) in Task manager.
