Hi there.

Looking to get port 80 serving. Changed to root, but the error keeps the user from running:

nginx: [warn] the "user" directive makes sense only if the master process runs with super-user privileges, ignored in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:2
nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (13: Permission denied)
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Is there any way to get nginx working as root? Is this a bad idea? I just don’t like running as port 8080. It complicates things down the road as I want to implement SSL (port 443) later on. Port numbers also get into my code later on.

Any advice appreciated how I can get this on normal ports 80 and 443.
