How to allow a server running on port 80?

Expand Post »
Hello alltogether,

it's a really silly question actually, but I just can't figure it out. I want to write a simple server, that serves the HTTP-protocoll (Port 80). The connection does work, when I let the programme run on port 8080, but Mac OS prohibits the connection on port 80. What can I do?

Many, many thanks
Simon

Most likely you weren't running the program as a privileged user. Mac OS X requires administrative privileges to bind on ports < 1024.
