I just downloaded the latest version to evaluate.  I put the obligatory Hello World label on the form and tried to run.
I can't run the Local Web Server.   Error is:
"The web server cannot be started (Socket error: An Attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.  (10013), on API 'bind')

This is on my Windows 7 development machine.   Any ideas?

Are you running the EWB IDE still and is its internal web server enabled?

Basically i would suspect one of the following:
- something else is already listening on the port
- firewall or antivirus is blocking the app from binding to the port

Yes, this is inside the IDE.  I get the same message just firing up the IDE.   I, too, wouldn't be surprised
if the port is blocked.

You can either find out what else is using it or just change the port in Environment menu -> Options -> Web Server.

You mentioned it's development machine so if you have any other tools installed they often include a web server. Or could be any app - skype is known to use 80 for example and few others.

Raul - thank you so much.  That worked.    I really appreciate the help.

Why Skype started doing this I don't know, but it is very annoying.

You can find out what application has port 80 by opening a command line and typing:
netstat -ano

This will show a list of connections and you want the one that shows "LISTENING"
and a :80 after it.

You can make this more friendly by using:
netstat -ano >t1.txt
start t1.txt

(This puts the output in a file called t1.txt, and opens it in your editor. You may
want to specify where the file should go, or be in the directory you want it to be
in.)

Good tip.

I personally like the TCPView utility
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx) as it
gives you the graphical view and easy column sort.

For quickly running it they host exe's direct as well :
