bind(): Operation not permitted on Nginx

  • 772

I just installed Nginx on my machine to run Nginx. After install and config. I try to run nginx and got this problem:

bind() to 0.0.0.0:8843 failed (1:Operation not permitted)

I have no idea what this problem is and how to fix it. Google cannot find any related result also.

Is there anyway to fix?

Thank you

    A random guess would be that either

    • The account you are using doesn't have permissions to open the port you have specified
    • The port is already in use.

    Try temporarily disabling any firewalls and any kernel level security apps (apparmor/selinux). Use netstat -ntlp to see if anything else is already using the port.

  2. I found the problem, it's because of the permission that run CYGWIN.

    On Windows 7 or Vista, need to run CYGWIN as administrator to be able to bind this port.
