Trying to run a bridge I get the following error:

Starting tor daemon: tor...
Dec 24 08:13:15.454 [notice] Tor v0.2.0.14-alpha (r12937). This is
experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on
Linux x86_64)
Dec 24 08:13:15.456 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1a using
method epoll. Good.
Dec 24 08:13:15.456 [notice] Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:443
Dec 24 08:13:15.456 [warn] Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:443: Permission denied
Dec 24 08:13:15.456 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind
one of the listener ports.
Dec 24 08:13:15.456 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

I sort of understand what the error is saying but I don't know how to fix
it.  Suggestions?
