[Mongrel] OSX requires sudo for using ports 1024
I assume some of you have run into this error before when trying to run mongrel on port 80 (or another port 1024) in OSX: $ mongrel_rails start -p 80 ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:80 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/lib/mongrel/tcphack.rb:12:in `initialize_without_backlog': Permission denied - bind(2) (Errno::EACCES) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/lib/mongrel/tcphack.rb:12:in `initialize' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/lib/mongrel.rb:536:in `initialize' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:128:in `listener' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/bin/mongrel_rails:96:in `cloaker_' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:51:in `initialize' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/bin/mongrel_rails:83:in `run' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14/lib/mongrel/command.rb:211:in `run' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.14 /bin/mongrel_rails:235 from /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails:18 Mongrel runs without sudo on all other ports 1024 otherwise.

I think it is pretty common to require sudo to run on privileged ports. I guess it might be because otherwise any user could start acting as the web server in the internet (assuming the port is not blocked by a firewall). //jarkko -- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://dotherightthing.com http://www.railsecommerce.com http://odesign.fi smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users

On UNIX-derived systems, ports below 1024 are privileged and can only be accessed as root.

Anyone have the reason that these ports require sudo? This is the way it is on all unixes... ports under 1024 tend to be well known. 25 for smtp, 80 for http. So the OS won't let you use that port unless you are root so that joe-random-user can't start up some subversive web server on that port... -philip ___ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
