In this example you can see the "ftpsvc" service is using port 21 through svchost.exe - which is normal.

If you are running the IIS FTP server and EFT Server on the same computer, you can do either of the following: In IIS Manager, change the port http://www.ithacks.com/2010/04/21/unexpected-error-0x8ffe2740-when-starting-ftp-or-iis/ bindings for the Web site to a port other than port 80. Stop the application that is using port 80, and then start the Web site from IIS Manager.

It just means IIS can't start a website because port 80 is already in use.
MS KB article 816944 has more info. A likely suspect is Skype, since it will use port 80 if it's free. This is a tricky one, since IIS might work fine most of the time since it starts up before Skype, butif you stop and restart IISSkype sees port 80 is free and snakes it. 08ffe2740 for you! IIS-Resourceshas theanswer but not enough Google Juice. Here's the fix: SkypeFile-> Options -> ConnectionUncheck Use Port 80 as an alternative for incoming connections.Restart default website. 118 Comments Thanks, this one brought the light to my momentary darkness... Only that I had to quit Skype in order to bring my website back to life. Also, in my version of Skype the Connection is reached this way: Tools->Options->Connection Great! Ignacio Hernandez - Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:01:00 PM Skype was the culprit here, too. Thanks for posting the solution. Rick Borup - Tuesday, October 11, 2005 11:23:00 PM thx took sometime to figure out this was the pain.
