Operating Systems Linux Unblock port 80 for none root user Post 302160321 by staind_art on Monday 21st of January 2008 02:38:13 PM

Lightbulb Unblock port 80 for none root user

Hi all,

I am running an oracle application server but the problem is that the default port it is using is 7777 and if i want to make it port 80 i have to run the server as root which something i do not want to do. If i understand well to run on a port under 1024 the application needs root access.
I heard that there is a file that can be modified in order to allow a specific user to run an application on a port like 80 which is under 1024.
Can anyone tell me if it is achievable by modifying a linux configuration file ?

Regards,

staind_art
