Welcome

Just a place for me to spew some relatively random (relative to being mostly IT related) stuff for those who might be Googling for a solution or an idea.

Changing the VMware Converter ports

If you ever need to change the ports that VMware Converter listens on (80 and 443 by default) after you have it installed you can do so though "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel.

I had a physical web app server that we had previously installed Converter on to convert to virtual for training/dev purposes. I later needed to add an SSL Cert to the default website, but I was getting "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." when I tried to start the site. After googling the error I cam to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890015 which basically states that either something else if using that port, or you have registry configuration issues. Using the "netstat -ano" command listed in the article (do "netstat - ano more" it's a long listing) I was able to see that port 443 was indeed being used by process "5196". Task Manager (add the PID column: View-Select Columns)) showed me that it was VMware Converter that was the culprit.

Doing Add/Remove, selecting "VMware Converter Standalone" and clicking modify allow you to change the ports.
