Running with root privs to acquire port 80 is a security hole waiting to be hurt.
You should run it as normal and use iptables or something else to redirect port 80 to 9898. Mine runs as such, on a server that has 2 IP adresses on one interface. The main IP is used for everything but Wave and wave runs on the 2nd IP address. iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d <YOUR_IP> --dport 80 -j DNAT --to <YOUR_IP>:9898 service iptables save service iptables restart and my config looks like this: # Domain name of the wave server # Default value: local.net wave_server_domain = wave.example.com # A comma separated list of address on which to listen for connections. # Each address is a comma separated host:port pair. # Default value: localhost:9898 http_frontend_public_address = localhost:9898, wave.example.com:9898 # Default value: values passed to http_frontend_public_address. http_frontend_addresses = wave.example.com:9898 -----Original Message----- From: 李向彬 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 16 May 2012 7:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Setup WIAB behind an apache server how can i do that since apache already taken the port:80?
