Nginx- error: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed. permission denied
If the port is already in use, you can change the default port of 80 to a different port that is not in use (maybe 8070). In conf\nginx.conf:
server {
listen 8070;
...
}
After startup, you should be able to hit localhost:8070.
tl;dr
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=::
Faced similar issue. Run the above command in command prompt.
This should free up port 80, and you'd be able to run nginx.
Description:
netsh http commands are used to query and configure HTTP.sys settings and parameters.
add iplisten :
Adds a new IP address to the IP listen list, excluding the port number.
"::" means any IPv6 address.
For more netsh http commands refer the netsh http commands documentation.
Hope this helps!!
