Tomcat port 80

843841Oct 17 2007 — edited Oct 18 2007
I'm sure this really doesn't belong here, but I am so stumped. All I want to do is run Tomcat 5 (Fedora Core 5) on port 80. I changed the <Connector> element in server.xml to 80 from 8080. In catalina.out I get this error:
"SEVERE: Catalina.start: LifecycleException: service.getName(): "Catalina"; Protocol handler start failed: java.net.BindException: Permission denied:80 at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.so) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.so)"
I assure you that I have nothing running on port 80 when I try this. I've checked it over and over (using netstat of course) and nothing is bound to port 80. Anyone out there have a similar problem? Thanks in advance.
