Servicehost throwing an error, even though added to configuration with netsh

Question

Hey guys,

Servicehost.Open() is throwing this error : HTTP could not register URL http://+:8001/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace (see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353 for details).

So I used netsh to add the url. But event though it is added, i'm still getting the error. This is the command i use : netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8001/ user=djerryy. "djerryy" is my computername. When i run netsh http show urlacl i see it was added. (see pic)

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are missing the name of the user account who is running the service. Here's a couple of options:

• Local user account:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8001/ user=ComputerName\Username

• Domain user account:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8001/ user=DomainName\Username

• Built-in NetworkService account:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8001/ user="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE"
