Problem starting aolserver

When trying to start a newly installed version of aolserver,
I get this error:

Error: nssock: failed to listen on 64.58.34.71:80:
Permission denied


What folder/file does not have the correct permissions?

Here is what I am using to start the server:

/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -ft ./nsd.tcl -u something -g
something

Thank you.

Thorpe

You need to start it as root to listen on port 80 and
pre-bind nsd to
the port, by adding
 -b 64.58.34.71:80

e.g.

/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -ft ./nsd.tcl -u something -g
something  -b 64.58.34.71:80

Port 80 requires root to start the server, AOLserver does a
prebind as root 
then switches to the user (something in your case).

It could also be the case that the ip address is incorrect,
I'm not sure if 
you get the exact same message.

Some other process is already listening on that IP address
on port  
80.  Usually the culprit is Apache, however in this case
when I go to  
http://64.58.34.71 I get
the AOLserver 4.5 welcome page, so it looks  
like you might just be trying to run a second instance of
the nsd you  
just installed.

When things like this happen to me I usually shut everything
down  
(killall nsd works well if you don't have other sites on the
system  
that need to stay running) and start it up fresh.

To listen on ports below 255, Unix requires you to start the
process as 
root.  If you *are* starting as root (I see you've got a -u
flag on the 
command line) then it could be that something else is
already bound to 
that port.  But I'll bet you're not starting as root.  God
knows I've 
done that often enough.

FAQ: Binding to privileged ports requires "-b" or
"-B" command line
options.  

TODO: change the socket binder error message to include a
reference to
some FAQ URL off aolserver.com that explains this.
