I'm having the same problems on jetty 6.1.24-6. Is there any system configs i can/should alter to make this work?
/etc/default/jetty NO_START=0 VERBOSE=yes #JETTY_USER=jetty JETTY_USER=root JETTY_HOST=0.0.0.0 JETTY_PORT=80 jetty-setuid.xml: <Configure id="Server" class="org.mortbay.setuid.SetUIDServer"> <Set name="startServerAsPrivileged">false</Set> <Set name="umask">2</Set> <Set name="uid">104</Set> <Set name="gid">107</Set> jetty:conf: # list of jetty configuration and property files /etc/jetty/jetty-setuid.xml /etc/jetty/jetty-logging.xml /etc/jetty/jetty.xml /etc/jetty/jetty-ssl.xml /etc/jetty/jetty-shared-webapps.xml log: 245 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Setting umask=02 246 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - jetty-6.1.24 281 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Deploy /etc/jetty/contexts/javadoc.xml -> org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHand$ 393 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Opened /var/log/jetty/2011_04_12.request.log 407 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - failed SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:80: java.net.SocketException: Permission $ 427 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - failed SslSocketConnector@0.0.0.0:443: java.net.BindException: Permission denied 427 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - failed SetUIDServer@3a56860b: org.mortbay.util.MultiException[java.net.SocketEx$ 427 [main] WARN org.mortbay.log - EXCEPTION org.mortbay.util.MultiException[java.net.SocketException: Permission denied, java.net.BindException: Permission d$ at org.mortbay.jetty.Server.doStart(Server.java:188) ...
