So I am kind of new to setting up servers. And I have been struggling with various sql issues all night. I think the only thing that sits between me and a successfully running play app is this: error
Starting process with command `target/start -Dhttp.port=80 `
2012-04-04T05:58:52+00:00 app[web.1]: Play server process ID is 1
2012-04-04T05:58:53+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] play - database [default] connected at jdbc:mysql://us-cdbr-east.cleardb.com/heroku_cd914b667dae168
2012-04-04T05:58:56+00:00 app[web.1]: [info] play - Application started (Prod)
2012-04-04T05:58:56+00:00 app[web.1]: Oops, cannot start the server.
2012-04-04T05:58:56+00:00 app[web.1]: org.jboss.netty.channel.ChannelException: Failed to bind to: /0.0.0.0:80
... more errors
Does anyone spot any problems? Do I need any java options arguments?
I tried specifying a user port in the Procfile, and got a different error message:
2012-04-04T07:01:36+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `target/start -Dhttp.port=2000`

2012-04-04T07:01:47+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed
I have no idea what is happening. How do I change this environment variable? This heroku process model is very confusing to me.
I think the problem is that you're not allowing Heroku to specify the port. Googling your error I find: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/error-codes#r11__bad_bind
So instead of doing this:
web: target/start -Dhttp.port=80
Do this
web: target/start -Dhttp.port=$PORT
James has a nice writeup on getting a more advanced Play 2.0 app deployed here.
