I get this error in IIS 6.0 when trying to manually start certain sites, add SSL ports, or add new sites manually. I installed Smartermail and wanted to manually add the webmail site into IIS on port 9998. After I did it I can no longer start the plesk control panel site. So I had to remove Smartermail to get the plesk site to work.

I did a search on google and found this off of microsoft's website:

Q. When I try to add a new Web site, the Web site is not added, and the error message "No more memory is available for security information updates" is displayed. I also see error 1131 in the system Event Log.

A. By default, IIS automatically determines the number of Web sites that can be created based on the amount of physical memory that is available on the server. For example, on a computer that has 64 megabytes (MB) of available memory, the maximum number of sites is set to 16. On a computer that has 256 MB of available memory, the maximum number of sites is set to 64.

To resolve this issue, create a MaxEndPoints registry value, and set it to a number that is at least 1 greater than the number of Web sites that you want to host with IIS. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Start Registry Editor and navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters

2. In the details pane, right-click, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

3. In the Name box, type the following: MaxEndPoints.

4. Double-click the MaxEndPoints value, and then in the Value data box, type a number that is at least 1 greater than the number of Web sites that you want to host but no larger than 1024.

5. Click OK, and then close Registry Editor.

I did exactly as they told and it still does not fix the problem.

In the event log, there are lots of 1131 errors, here is one of them:

Cannot register the URL prefix 'http://*:7814/' for site '5276'. Too many listening ports have been configured in HTTP.sys. The site has been deactivated. The data field contains the error number.
