Port 80 error : Unrecognized html request:

Greetings,

After operating Misterhouse on Mandriva for about 4 years, I decided to upgrade my server and at the same time switched over to Ubuntu. On Mandriva, I had the port set for :1080 and this has worked flawlessly with Zoneminder operating under port 80. However, I would like to serve Misterhouse on :80 on the new server. When I set the http_port = 80, I get an endless series of error messages:

Unrecognized html request: get_req=/misc/failed_request.shtml get_arg= header= GET /misc/failed_request.shtml HTTP/1.1

If I use http_port=1080, everything is perfectly quite as before.

My directory structure is

/home/rob/misterhouse

   data

   web(identical to the distribution directory)

   rob

   mh(2.105)

     bin

     code

     data

     docs

     lib

     sounds

     web

I have run this with and without the zoneminder server running, with and without Apache2 000_default and ports.conf port settings on 1080 and 8080. The errors always occur when Misterhouse http_port =80.

Any ideas?

Rob

Just a stab in the dark, but if you are running that as anything other
than root, you can't bind to port 80, you can only bind to
non-privileged ports, like 1080, and 8080. Try running MH as root, or
use Apache2 to proxy down to port 80 (I have mine set up like this on
CentOS 5 and it works flawlessly, even with MH at a high port, and other
web services running on the box).

Thanks for the stab.  Ubuntu forces me to use sudo with ./mhl.  I did switch
over to root and start ./mhl with same results.  Just to be clear, I am able to
access the web interface on MH via port 80 but the error messages start piling
up in the terminal window.  I assume I am "bound" to 80 since I am able to
access the web page.
