In a *nix environment, it is likely that non-root users are not allowed to bind ports < 1024. That is, Resin cannot answer on HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443) request unless running as root. I'd recommend using port forwarding from 80/443 to some port > 1024 and then run Resin as non-root. </Mattias> _______________________________________________ resin-interest mailing list resin-interest@caucho.com http://maillist.caucho.com/mailman/listinfo/resin-interest
