If yes, do you need to be running one ? From the sounds of the error it seems like there is not a web server running on that system and whatever scanning system thinks there is, a faulty scanning system assuming there is a web server running on a particular port. If you are running a http server, check the error/access logs to see if there are any problems detected by the system. And I'd suggest running tcpdump or some sort of port scan/network scan detection software while they run the test so you can see exactly what they are looking at. At the last company I worked at they were working towards PCI compliance, and there was at least 50-60 servers that did not run any sort of HTTP service(they ran other services that talked other protocols). While we talked about PCI compliance I never heard of anything needing to scan the network for HTTP servers. nate
