Error: Could not start listener: Permission denied

[encrypted_code at hotmail.com (encrypted code)]

If the ports you are using are being used by other services, such as apache 
web server etc.. it will deny you because the ports are already in use, and 
cannot be overlapped. I would make sure that you arent overlapping or trying 
to use ports that may already be in use. Or, try an odd port like 45000 or 
something like that so you can make sure its not being used.
