If the web interface is not available or the user that runs the service has been replaced, you need to manually set access to the HTTP-protocol. To do this:
run the command line as an administrator;
run the netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8081/ user=SERVICE_USER command, where PORT is a port number (default port is 8080), SERVICE_USER is the name of the user, on whose behalf the service is running.
When you change the URL, you need to restart the service to apply your settings.
If the user was replaced, the port can stay busy by the previous user. When going into the web interface error The Url reservation add failed, Error: 183. Cannot create a file when that file already exists will open.
To solve the problem, you must delete permissions on the port from the previous user with the command netsh http delete urlacl url=http://+:8080/.
