Windows could not start the IBM HTTP Server

I installed IBM HTTP Server and tried to start the IBM HTTP Server service. But got following error:

"Windows could not start the IBM HTTP Server on local computer".

Solution:

The failure was due to port 80 which was not available. As IIS (Microsoft Web Server) was running and it was holding port 80 so IBM HTTP Server was unable to start. I uninstalled IIS and restarted machine it resolved the issue.
Note: If your HTTP Server is not a fresh installation then it might be due to some syntax error in the configuration files.
