Description

Setting gitea up worked just fine. But when starting gitea with systemd, it fails with exit-code 1. It seems that gitea isn't using the port specified in the app.ini. I already looked at other issues like this one but all of them wheren't helpful.
Hope I mentioned everything and thanks for your help!

The log says:

[F] Failed to start port redirection: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use

So you already have other server applications running on the same port as Gitea.

And I think you should disable the "port redirection" from Gitea side, in most cases it is not needed.
