Unix system (even Linux) does not allow normal users to bind at ports
<1024,
Use some port number >1024 or you need to configure your user for
permission to bind to a port <1024.
Changa fer.

Subject: JSVC problems with Tomcat 5.0.19 & Linux
Hi,
I am trying to get Tomcat 5.0.19 to run as a non-root user using commons
daemon - jsvc on a linux machine.
uname -a
Linux rx2600 2.4.20-cgl-1.12-mckinley-smp #1 SMP Tue Sep 23 09:21:46 MDT
2003 ia64 unknown
I got the following error in the log file
syscall failed in set_caps
service exits with a value of 4
After looking at a few solutions on the internet, I commented out the
set_caps(CAPS) & set_caps(CAPSMIN) lines from jsvc-unix.c and tried
again.
Now, tomcat started properrly but had problems binding to port 80
(
java.net.BindException)
It looks like these set_caps() calls are needed to get the proper
permissions to bind to port 80.
/* set capabilities enough for binding port 80 setuid/getuid */
if (set_caps(CAPS)!=0)
return(-1);
Anyone else has seen this problem before. Any suggestions/solutions ??
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ashwin.
