Won't start as non-root on ubuntu. Help?

Post by meurkens »

Hi,

Just installed sabnzbd on ubuntu 9.10 via apt. Now, I can start sabnzbd by doing "sudo sabnzbdplus". When I don't do sudo, I get an error. The same error shows up in my sabnzbd.error.log when I try to start using "/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start". Somebody understands how I can tackle this? Thanks!

Code: Select all

Exception in thread CPHTTPServer Thread-7:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 486, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()

All Linux systems limit access to low port numbers for restricted users.
This means you cannot use port 80, but you can use 8080.
