Daoud JAHDOU asked:

recently i have created a new ec2 instances (quick launch ) and i tried to deploy my Play! application the security group gives access to port 80 and port 22 (SSH)
but when i run :

play start 80

it gives me this

[error] org.jboss.netty.channel.ChannelException: Failed to bind to: /0.0.0.0:80
[error] Use 'last' for the full log.

which means that the 80 port is used
when i run

netstat -tlnp

i get

    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address               Foreign Address             State       PID/Program name

i’ve searched all the web but i didn’t figure it out, help me please !

NOTE : i just solve this all i have to do is start it with sudo.

My answer:

Since you’re binding to a port below 1024, it must be started with root privileges.

Try something like:

sudo play start 80
