Unix system (even Linux) does not allow normal users to bind at ports <1024,
Use some port number >1024 or you need to configure your user for permission to bind to a port <1024.

Now, tomcat started properrly but had problems binding to port 80 (java.net.BindException) It looks like these set_caps() calls are needed to get the proper permissions to bind to port 80. /* set capabilities enough for binding port 80 setuid/getuid */ if (set_caps(CAPS)!=0) return(-1); Anyone else has seen this problem before. Any suggestions/solutions ?? Thanks a lot in advance. Ashwin. ===== Ashwin Desai. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
