Well the problem is non-root users can't use ports < 1024, and I want
to use port 80, so when running:
./web2py.py -p 80 --nogui

use "kill -SIGTERM 2958" to shutdown the web2py server
ERROR:Rocket.Errors.ThreadPool:Socket 127.0.0.1:80 in use by other
process and it won't share.
CRITICAL:Rocket.Errors.ThreadPool:No interfaces to listen

the error message is bogus because the binding is just failing because
of the non-root user. Some web servers allow you to set a "user" in
config. You start them as root, and after the port binding the server
setuids to another user.
I can't seem to find this option in web2py / rocket server, but it
would be useful. Or is there other way I'm missing to achieve this?
Thanks very much.
