Package: freevo
Version: 1.9.2b2-4.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
The freevo init scripts are set to drop privileges before spawning the freevo
component they are designed to start. This means that the freevo web server is
unable to bind its configured port (80) as it does not have root privileges.
# invoke-rc.d freevo start
Starting Freevo Home Theatre PC Platform (webserver).

CannotListenError: Couldn't listen on any:80: [Errno 13] Permission denied.
WARNING: Couldn't listen on any:80: [Errno 13] Permission denied.
The /etc/freevo/local_conf.py installed by the package claims "Port 8080 is the
default" but this is not the case -- 80 is the default.
It would be handy if the default port were changed to 8080 and if README.Debian
explained how to also set up the username/password for basic auth (or provided
a link to the upstream documentation).
cheers
Stuart
