Changing Port Address

Question

I am using Motion Server for monitoring webcam which are running on http://localhost:8081. Is it possible to change port from 8081 to 80 like (http://localhost:80). I changed it in motion.conf but it's not working. Is there any solution for this? ThankYou

Answer 1

after changing your file restart service using sudo systemctl restart motion also if it doesn't work still then this might be a Permissions and User Privileges issue. try running motion as root using sudo motion.
