Lack of port access rights is not reported properly

Reported by: shypike Assigned to: shypike
Priority: normal Milestone: 0.5.0
Component: Startup Version: 0.4.2

Description

Starting sabnzbd on a privileged port under a user account that has insufficient rights for this (i.e. non-root) does not cause startup to fail, like it does when coming across similar issues such as the port being in use. As a result, the program will be started without a web interface or api access, making it fairly hard to stop in a clean way for the (newbie) user especially when run as a daemon.

The problem should be handled like port-in-use.

See attachment for error situation.

(In [2022]) Detect lack of permission to use the web-server port and report accordingly. On Linux systems the ports below 1024 are restricted to admins. Closes #98 for trunk.
