Abyss Web Server for Linux -> Closing on startup.

[RichardGatinho]

I installed Abyss Web Server for Linux (version 2.5) on a Debian-based system, with help of alien.
But, I can't start Abyss. It shows the welcome message, and closes...
If Abyss normally acts as this, I can't connect to both console and website (connection refused).

# ./abyssws

# echo $?

# ps aux | grep abyssws

Check those permissions on the abyss files ! Especially set abyss.conf and run it the first time as non root user. It will complain about the port 80. See if the console works. Then shut the app down and try again using root to run the webserver - don't forget the command line switch -r

I just fired my X2 up on a new box and forgot everything..... working fine on debian etch,

RichardGatinho,

Are you starting the server using your root account?

Yes. I tried on another Debian-based (it comes only with root and defaults to it), and the same thing gets on the way.

EDIT: According to some docs, only root can listen to lower ports (<1024).

I can't understand.
Permissions are OK.

I will chown the files. Hold on...

EDIT:
chown -R richard:richard . -> NOTHING done.
chmod -R 777 . -> NOTHING done.
Console -> NOTHING done.

-bash: strace: command not found


I don't know if strace is installable via apt-get.
