Full Version: [LIVE] Force Port 80 for the Web Server Interface on XBMC Live?

Is there any way to get XBMC's web UI to listen on port 80? If I set it to 80 in the Network Config, it changes to 8080.

I have a domain controller in my home and I resolve names. Therefore I'd like to have http://xbmc.local point to my box without having to put "http://xbmc.local:8080"

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: forgot to mention that this is on XBMC Live 9.11
there is a security built in to linux, only root can run ports under 1024
Run xbmc as root is STUPID though! You should be able to reroute the port with iptables et al.
Here's what I use:
Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
