I’m trying to port my project to the mac from a pc.
When executing
server = new ServerSocket(80);
A exception gets thrown saying Permission denied. I’m login as a admin.
On every major OS other than Windows, you can’t bind to port 80 unless you’re root. Not just an admin user — root.
On the Mac, port 80 may also already be in use by the built-in web server (Apache) if that’s enabled.
