RavenDB : "Make sure the port is open."

I want to set up a 4.0.4 RavenDB through its setup wizard but it keeps saying that my port 443 isn't open.

Error Message

In my Settings I've double-checked the IP adresses. 192.168.1.28 is my computer. Everything's fine. 38889 was just a test.

In my Firewall port settings, everything looks ok : NAT/PAT

Same thing with the Windows Firewall

Btw, before you link it to me, I've already read https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/4.0/csharp/server/security/common-errors-and-faq

If anyone could help, i'd provide lifetime gratitude :)

Thank you in advance for every answer.

Solution

  • This usually means that something is holding on to that port. This is frequently Skype or IIS. Here is how you can figure it (PowerShell):

    PS C:\> Get-Process -id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 443).OwningProcess

Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K)     CPU(s)     Id  SI ProcessName
-------  ------    -----      -----     ------     --  -- -----------
   1855      78   136472      76416   2,115.61  12812   1 Skype

    On My Machine, you can see that Skype is indeed holding this port open. You can change that using:

    Skype configuration
