good morning,

I have installed elog 2.8.0 from terminal but when I type

elogd -p 80

or simply

elogd

the system tells me

Cannot bind to port 8080

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Marco M

Under linux, only the "root" user can start programs on ports below 1024. If you get problems binding to ports above 1024 (such as 8080) it means that some other program uses already that port. You can check what is running usually with

netstat -l -p
