problem changing hosts, program no longer works [OSX, port]

I am using Mac OS 10.6. I was using sabnzbd under usenetserver, and it worked fine. I switched to an account with newshosting, and when I tried to reinput the information under config, now I can no longer open or access sabnzbd. The port I have been given is 119, which was the same for both usenetserver and newshosting, but I get the following error message:

SABnzbd.py 0.7.16

SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 119 on 192.168.0.197 was tried , but the account used for SABnzbd has no permission to use it.
On OSX and Linux systems, normal users must use ports above 1023.

Please restart SABnzbd with a different port number.

Open a Terminal window and type the line (example):
/Volumes/SABnzbd-0.7.16/OS X 10.5 and 10.6 (Leopards)/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server 192.168.0.197:1024

If you get this error message again, please try a different number.

Program did not start!


I tried copying exactly that into the terminal but it did not work, and I know nothing about using the terminal or ports or any of that so I was hoping I could get some help for how to handle this problem.

I think you added your new Usenet account data in Config->General instead of Config->Servers.
Open a Utilities->Terminal window and type:

/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --no-login --server 127.0.0.1:8080
