nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (13: Permission denied)

[Andrew Hutchings]

Hi Maddy,

In Linux (and most other Unix based systems) ports below 1024 need to be 
opened using the root user. So you need to start NGINX as root which 
will open the port and then drop down to an unprivileged user for the port.

Kind Regards
Andrew
