Alan M. Carroll commented on TS-2054:
-------------------------------------
This was cause by a bad default value for TS-1487. This still is a problem in
the case that
1) libcap is not used
2) traffic_server is started directly by itself.
3) http.wait_for_case is set and ATS waits for the cache
Fixing this would be challenging because currently the root UID is dropped at
the end of proxy/Main.cc if libcap is not available. At that point sufficient
privilege to open restricted ports cannot be regained. It is a sufficiently
obscure case that I recommend moving this out or closing.
> traffic_server will not bind to a reserved port (<=1024)

> At some point after ea560ce I stopped being able to bind to port 80. It looks
