webAdmin cannot listen on port 80 or 443

[Eli]

Hello,

I can't set webAdmin to listen on port 80 or 443.
Tested for ipv4 and ipv6

[ERROR] [config:admin:listener:IP-TEST] Can not set address 127.0.0.1:80 to webAdmin!

Nothing is listening on port 80

It's a bug or a feature?

Environment:
CentOS Stream release 8
OpenLiteSpeed 1.6.18 (installed from LiteSpeed Repo)

Hi,
Port 80 and 443 are more for the regular HTTP and HTTPS listener set up, please avoid to use it on the web admin listener.

Yes I understand, but I have a separate network to manage OpenLiteSpeed.
My security team only allowed these two ports on the firewall.

OpenliteSpeed Web Admin port will not accept 80/443 even you have a different network. If changing the firewall is impossible, then you might want to consider to set up a reverse proxy for the web admin which sounds weird to me through
