No Root Permissions

Symptom:

Configuring the SPS without root permissions.

Solution:

Use the following information to troubleshoot:

You can still install SPS; however, the automatic process cannot complete all of the installation steps. The Installation Program displays warnings to help you determine which files you need to edit by hand.
Non-root users are generally not allowed to bind to ports 80 and 443. Therefore, the default ports for HTTP and HTTPS traffic are set to 8080 and 8443 for non-root installations. This enables you to test your server without editing the httpd.conf file. Test with:
- http://yourserver.com:8080
- https://yourserver.com:8443
Note: Non-root installations are not recommended for SSL-enabled servers. A non-root installation is less secure because it allows an additional person with root permissions access to your keys and certificates.
