3. Configuring dev server to run on port 80

Configuring dev server to run on port 80


  • I’m facing an issue. I’m trying to a social login app (via facebook) and the login popup does not close. It seems it’s because the port is not a standard one (80 or 443) : stackoverflow

    So I’m trying to configure my app to run on port 80 and it fails.
    Here is my conf : (I’m using quasar 0.15.8)

    module.exports = function (ctx) {
  return {
    devServer: {
      // https: true,
      port: 80,
      open: true // opens browser window automatically
    }

    And here is the error on build :

     app:dev Checking listening address availability (0.0.0.0:80)... +4ms

 app:dev Unknown network error occured +0ms
{   Error: listen EACCES 0.0.0.0:80
  
  - next_tick.js:141 _combinedTickCallback
    internal/process/next_tick.js:141:11
  
  - next_tick.js:180 process._tickCallback
    internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9
  

  code: 'EACCES',
  errno: 'EACCES',
  syscall: 'listen',
  address: '0.0.0.0',
  port: 80 }

    I have nothing running on port 80 ! Can someone help me ?

  • Thats becaue ports lower than 1024 are so called priviledged ports: https://www.w3.org/Daemon/User/Installation/PrivilegedPorts.html

    So either you choose another port or you run as priviledges user.
    On macOS/Linux use sudo quasar dev to be allowed to use this port.
