Glad it was helpful!

The -p 80 does indeed set the port to 80. Calibre server defaults to 8080. I set up a virtual machine specifically for Calibre, so I don't have any other web server running on it. Setting it to use port 80 allows me to type the URL in my address bar without having to specify the port. Any other port has to be specified. If you already have another web server running, for instance Apache, it defaults to port 80, so calibre won't be able to bind to port 80. So if you remove the "-p 80" you'll need to use http://your.calibre.address:8080/

I'll update my previous post with a bit of clarification about this.
