Mochiweb Port 80

Question

I am attempting to run BeepBeep through Mochiweb on Port 80. It works if I type sudo ./start_server.sh. Are there any security risks with running Mochiweb like this? If so how to remedy?

Thanks!

Answer 1

running any service as root has risk. It's hard to answer your question properly without more information though. Is this a production service or a dev instance you are running?

If production I would recommend running the mochiweb instance on a different port so it can run as a user and then using a proxy like nginx or apache to listen on 80 and forward the request.

Answer 2

您可以在非特权端口上启动它并在防火墙中进行端口转发，以便端口80进入您的非特权端口。
