Following Tutorial: Can't bind to port: 80 Permission denied
Added by pixeljuggler over 16 years ago
I'm a really new lighty user and have run into a problem. I'm trying to install it on my mac which is just freshly purchased for my dissertation, leopard 10.5.6, the newest version of lighty and am using the following tutorial to install:
http://davidwinter.me.uk/articles/2008/11/22/php5-lighttpd-and-imagick-on-mac-os-x-leopard/
At the end of the tutorial (step 11) I keep getting this error: can't bind to port: 80 Permission denied when I try to run the following command:
lighttpd -f /opt/local/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf -D
I have a hunch that it is the conf file at fault but really I wouldn't know how to remedy. Another thought I had is that perhaps something else is using the port but again I wouldn't know how to find out.
Any help would be fantastic.
I have attached my conf file just in case.
| lighttpd.conf (11.5 KB) lighttpd.conf | lighty conf file |

Maybe only administrators can start apps that bind to ports below 1024...

Thanks for replying Olaf-van-der-Spek. Yeah I am the admin so it should do the job, I think the issue lies somewhere else...

i think on the mac, i am not sure, you need to be root to do this not just an admin user.
