Hi Team,

I was unable to start Http webserver as a wsadmin(non-root) account.When I was tried it throughs below error

(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

But by the root user can able to do the start and stop.

So suggest me  how to take controle access on the IBM Http Server to start and stop..??

Hi,
if your system is Linux / Unix all services that listen on ports below 1024 must be run on the user ROOT. If you do not want to run on ROOT change in httpd.conf file port number over 1024

Thanks Ryman.

I have changed listen port in Httpd.conf file from 80 to 8008.

From that onwards I could able to start & stop services as wsadmin(non-root) user.

Great reply..

I'm glad I could help.
