Re: [mh] MH Couldn't start a tcp server

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Looks like a permissions problem on the "port" that the web server is
attempting to bind to. I believe that most unix-ish os's restrict access to
ports under 1024.

By default I understood misterhouse to fire up on port 8080. I believe the
option somewhere in the ini files is "http_port"

>From the install document:

"Note, the port number is controllable via mh.ini http_port parm. If you do
not have any other web server running, you may want to change it from the
default of 8080 to 80 so that you can use a simpler address of
http://localhost ."
