Setting Port Number

Hello:
I'm trying to set up a Frontier "Manila" server on OS 10.1.3.
The server is running. I can open the server control panel in Explorer 
and set various preferences. However, I can't access the "default" web 
site in Frontier.

I wonder if somehow I have the wrong port number set.

On set up Frontier sets port number to '8080'.

However, in, "How to Start Frontier's Webserver", Userland suggests 
using either port 80 or 81.

My web sharing is off and I don't believe my Apache server is up so I 
assume there is no reason I shouldn't use port 80. However, when I 
attempt to set either 80 or 81 I get this error:

"Can't bind listen stream because TCP/IP error -3212 - Permission denied"

This sound more like OSX than Frontier.

Any suggestions anyone?
