You need to be root to bind sockets on ports <=1024 on most *NIX systems. Either run graylog2-server as root (not recommended) or use a port higher than 1024. You could also try to give the local user than runs graylog2-server permission to bind to those restricted ports, but usually just choosing a higher port is the easiest solution.
