Inspection View shows java.net.SocketException - permission denied

 

 

 

 

Environment

DevTest 10.x and above

Cause

Trying to deploy to port below 1023 when the VSE Service was not started with a Super User on the linux machine.

Resolution

For ports 0-1023 you will have to run the VSE Service as a Super User on linux (e.g. root)

If you are unable to run as root, you should use higher ports
