sorry Robert Augustyn you can not use the port = 80 but you can use any port like 8888

i have change 80 to 8888 below 

Just USe ---xmlrpc-port=8888 in terminal Window like this

 ./openerp-server --addons ../addons/,../openerp-web/addons/,../../projects/ --xmlrpc-port=8888

you can use your own path just add the --xmlrpc-port=8888 befor addons path

port 80 information : 

The default IP port number used by Web servers for Web (HTTP) transactions. Secure HTTP (SHTTP) transactions are handled by port 443. Requests that come into the server at port 80 result in returning an HTML page to the browser. Port 80 requests may also call a CGI script, ISAPI or ASP process, a server-side include (SSI) or a Java servlet, all of which perform some process in the server and then return an HTML page with the results. A request coming into port 80 may result in any file being copied from the Web server to the requesting client.

so you can not use default 80 port

Hi,

Please we can run odoo on port 80 with the help of Nginx reverse proxy server. Please refer the below links. Hope this will help you.

Thanks, 

Adding the xmlrpc_port = 80 to config file does not seem to do the trick

Running /usr/bin/openerp-server  --xmlrpc-port=80 seems to do it but generates following error.

btw: the /usr/lib/python2.7 and /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 are own by openerp, any solutions?

It seems like the permission issue.

if v8 is same as v7 there should be a file called openerp-server.conf in /etc.

This file should have an entry like xmlrpc_port = 8069. I think changing that to xmlrpc_port = 80 should do the job*

(*unless things are different in v8 and/or things are special when it comes to port 80)
