Something I just thought of, but should have remembered earlier: In order to bind to port 80, you must run as root. Binding to any port below 1024 requires privilege. It looks like you installed Solr to run as the user named "solr" -- so it cannot do what it is being asked to do. It might be possible to fiddle with selinux and achieve this without running as root, but I have no idea how that is done. You can also install a proxy in front of Solr that runs on port 80, and accesses Solr via some other port. This is one of the reasons that Solr runs on a high port number by default. Thanks, Shawn
