Resolution
In Linux ports from 0 to 1024 are reserved for system use. In order to use any of these ports a proper access rights needs to be available for the user. The root user has such privileges and can actually use a port from the range 0 – 1024.Start the services with root user as it contains specific rights to bind to the port.
