Hello!
When I configure my play! application to listen on port 80 (in the
application.conf), I get the error message
16:51:46,227 ERROR ~ Could not bind on port 80
when starting it.
I am using a micro linux instance from Amazon EC2. I don't know if the
problem originates from Play or EC2, but I figured I'll ask in both
technologies' respective community forums.
I have made sure that port 80 is allowed incoming connections.
The application runs fine on (for instance) the default port 9000.
I have of course tried googling but I seem to be the only one that
have seen this error!?
Thanks for any help!

Usually you need to be root to run a process that bind on port 80.

Under Linux, you need root privileges to bind to a port < 1024.
Run Play as root, or use a frontal proxy as Nginx normally already packaged for your Linux distribution.

You're the second one to recommend ngnix. I will most definately use
that.

Thanks, my noobness as regards to *nix was to blame. Ran it as root
and no more problems.
