      Let's see the config file.

      I believe you want the config.json file. Its a pretty generic file.

      {
        "__comment__" : "This is a sample configuration file, edit a section and remove the _ in front of the name. Refer to the user's guide for details.",
        "settings": {
          "WANonly": true,
          "_Minify": 1,
          "SessionTime": 30,
          "Port": 443,
          "RedirPort": 80,
          "_SelfUpdate": true,
          "newAccounts": 0,
          "UserAllowedIP": "External IP addresses",
          "_WebRtConfig": { "iceServers": [ { "urls": "stun:stun.services.mozilla.com" }, { "urls": "stun:stun.l.google.com:19302" } ] }
        },
        "letsencrypt": {
          "email": "emailaddress",
          "names": "domainname.net",
          "rsaKeySize": 3072,
          "production": true
        },
        "smtp": {
          "host": "smtp.gmail.com",
          "port": 465,
          "from": "from address",
          "user": "to address",
          "pass": "password",
          "tls": true
        }
      }

        @pmoncho in your original post, you said that MC was moving itself to a different port. But in your netstat, MC wasn't running. What port is it going to?

          is it goin

          My apologies. It is going to 1024 and https to 1025.

          That is the weird part. If something was hogging port 80, I would understand the move to higher ports as that is what MC does. Nothing shows on port 80 at all so that is what I cannot figure out.

          Plus I know you had it working on U 19.04 so I was gungho for the upgrade.

              Did you forget to run as root? Those are unprivileged ports.

                If you run as non-root (I know the new directions seem to point people to avoid this, but the ones we used when everyone originally got this up and running all pointed us to use root) you have a lot of additional complications that you likely want to avoid. I highly recommend sticking to root for almost anyone deploying this.

                  That did it. Ugh. I totally forgot about this because I upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 to and then to 18.10 and did not have that issue. Apparently I now have that issue.

                  Thanks. Boy, I did learn alot over the last two days. Now I have a go to check in the future..

                    That setcap setting is "by the version", so if Node updates, the setting would need to update.

                      I do run as a non-root user. I will probably install as root in the near future. I installed as non-root as it seemed more secure but I do see the issue that it presents also.

                      Thanks for the help.

                        Thanks. I thought it was a OS thing. I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Ugh. I know better now.

                          Installing as root is one piece, running as root is another. You should be able to just run the current install as root to fix at least that problem.

                            I would need to move it outside of home dir to something like /opt?

                              Should, of course. No software ever goes in the /home directory. But need to? No, root can use any directory.

                                  If you are using NeDB, it is super simple to move the data file. If you are using MongoDB, the database is always still there on the same port.
