1: Error during server start
Posted by Luis Garcia on 06/07/05 04:43 PM

I recently rebuilt my linux server and before doing that I backed up all the OpenACS stuff. I restore the whole thing following the instructions on this link:

https://openacs.org/doc/current/snapshot-backup.html#recovery

Now, when I start the service all seem to go fine until it gets to this line:

According to this: "Error: nssock: failed to listen on 192.168.1.2:80: Permission denied" it seems that I have a permission problem somewhere. Any ideas?

Thanks

PS: before anyone says that the problem is the ip (192.168.1.2) my VPN forwards all the requests to that IP, which is where my server lives, and yes it works fine there, I already tested it.

You need to start openacs up as root if you are to run it on port 80.

Also you need to add the -b youraddress:yourport to the nsd command.

Cheers,
Nick.

Thanks! Well, I was doing all that. But the problem was a typo in the instruction I was passing to daemontools.

thanks again!
