bind(): Operation not permitted on Nginx

Question

I just installed Nginx on my machine to run Nginx. After install and config. I try to run nginx and got this problem:

bind() to 0.0.0.0:8843 failed (1:Operation not permitted)

I have no idea what this problem is and how to fix it. Google cannot find any related result also.

Is there anyway to fix?

Thank you

A random guess would be that either

The account you are using doesn't have permissions to open the port you have specified
The port is already in use.

Try temporarily disabling any firewalls and any kernel level security apps (apparmor/selinux). Use netstat -ntlp to see if anything else is already using the port.

As you notice the "permission" word. I found the answer. Read below: – DucDigital Jul 27 '10 at 02:32

I found the problem, it's because of the permission that run CYGWIN.

On Windows 7 or Vista, need to run CYGWIN as administrator to be able to bind this port.
