You run Galaxy is as non-root, likely as galaxy user. Only root can bind sockets to ports < 1024. If you want to use port 80, you need to configure Apache, nginx or another web server that will proxy requests to Galaxy.
The web servers run as root, so they can bind sockets to port 80.

Hi,
On a fresh galaxy installation the server start fine when it looks at port 8080, but as soon as I change to port 80 I get the following error
I think that is due to permissions since I have my galaxy inside a non-root galaxy user directory
Any ideas on the best way to solve this would be appreciated
Thanks
