RE: Orion doesnt' start as other user then root ??
Eddie, If you check the mailing list and or www.orionsupport.com, you will find some decent answers. What is causing your trouble is the fact that port 80 is for root only. One of the trick is using the packet filtering technique of the firewall of your site and forward all packages for orion to say port 8080 on your server (and make sure orion listens to that: see default-website.xml).

Re: Orion doesnt' start as other user then root ??
Are you on unix box? If so, you need root to open port 80. You could probably run on another port. I think ports up to 1024 are restricted. mike Eddie wrote: I don't know why but I can only start orion as root.

RE: Orion doesnt' start as other user then root ??
You are correct, in that ports up to 1024 are restricted. I think there is some information on running Orion on Unix in www.orionsupport.com. -Original Message- From: Mike Weissman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 10:51 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: Orion doesnt' start as other user then root ??

Sorry, I was a bit to fast. The problem: my disk was full. I was thinking a bit to difficult as it was just a simple thing. Ed
RE: Orion doesnt' start as other user then root ??
This is unnecessary. The IP chains mechanism in the Linux kernel can forward packets from one port to another, allowing orion to run as anyone (perferably as someone that has only permissions to do what it has to do). It still requires that the user have root acess so that he can set up the forwarding. Fortunately, this is detailed at orionsupport already, so no need to go into details here. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Allen Fogleson Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 1:23 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: Orion doesnt' start as other user then root ?? I imagine that is acceptable for that, however I would seriously look at the unix mechanisms for starting orion as root then changing it to a diferent uid. (nobody, orion, whatever) with lower permissions.

I don't know why but I can only start orion as root. When I start it as user orion it complains: It looks like a permission problem. I've had similar problems with starting Orion but because was trying to access to use port 80 that is restricted to root (up to port 1024). I've managed to solve the problem having root starting orion, using sudo (so I don't have to be root) and I can even restart it from a web page. Consider that I do not use Orion as a web server but just application server. Hope this helps, Alex Cos'e' il genio. E' fantasia intuizione, colpo d'occhio e velocita' d'esecuzione.
