I don't know how you have ever managed to run this on a linux or unix 
box as a normal user. You can only bind to ports less than 1024 if you 
are root. It has been like that for as long as I can remember.

IIRC it mentions something about this in the installation manual. That 
is we I use port 7300 as standard.
