Pm2: Error binding to port 80

[chaos-git]

Hi,

I have a nodejs app (used only within the local home network) that I want to bind to port 80.

$ pm2 start app.js --name black
OR
$ sudo pm2 start app.js --name black

Results in:

$ less /home/[user]/.pm2/logs/black-err-3.log
Error: bind EACCES
at errnoException (net.js:901:11)

at handleMessage (child_process.js:318:10)
at Pipe.channel.onread (child_process.js:345:11)

app.js is trying to bind to port 80, so I know it needs elevated creds. It's running as my user which is a root user. If I start the app like the below then it works:

$ sudo nodejs app.js

How do I make it so pm2 starts the app with elevated privs?

Thanks

I figured it out. The pm2 process needed to be started as root.

$ pm2 kill
$ sudo pm2 start app.js --name black

@chaos-git sudo pm2 does not work for me, I still get error Error: listen EACCES 0.0.0.0:80
