The first error is because non-root users cannot bind to ports lower than 1024. The second error means just what it says: The address is already in use, so you can't bind to port 80. Something else is already bound to it; probably you have an HTTP server already running as part of your default software installation and don't realize it. Choose another port. -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM, Y!M erikmaxfrancis If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question? -- Lily Tomlin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
