You can start node-red in failsafe mode `node-red --safe`  
Then correct the configuration that leads to listening on port `80`.

The process that runs node-red does not have the rights to occupy port 80, given its use among network services.

It would be great to report this issue against the socketio node - it really needs to be handling this error.
