cant access myself... wtf?

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

ok, I had an apache2 server up and runing fine for a couple of days but recently I cant seem to connect to myself, I figured one of the config files with apache got screwed up or that my dns deamon wasnt workin right and I would deal with it later, so I ignored it. But I just went to configure cups.. and cups is running and when i do a

http://localhost:631

in firefox, it gives me the same result as trying to go to my website, neverending loading thing.. so out of curiosity i went to my dyndns account and my ip updater was working, whats up, I cant go to any of my own services anymor, no one can connect to me through apache, I didn't set up a firewall.. and now its stopping me from seting up my printer

P.S. http://localhost:631 did work not to long ago as well as my website did.. I am going through a router but I was going through a router when it was first working as well, no firewalls router side or anything wierd like that to set up... using ipv6 if it matters thnx for reading

localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 if it is working properly. See if you can connect to cups with 127.0.0.1:631, that will rule out a resolving issue.

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

yeah, it works fine if I use 127.0.0.1, hmm just check my /etc/hosts and realized that 127.0.0.1 is named gentoo, could this also be why my apache server is bieng wierd?

[the_mgt]

yes, i would think so.
but you should be able to connect to http://gentoo:631 with that config....

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

yeah, maybe the fact that i dont have a localhost anymore is messing with everything, because although I can connect to the main cups screen using gentoo if i try to add printers it fails again.. I'm gonna go fix /etc/hosts and reboot brb

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

lol, now i get connection refused when trying to connect to the cups server via localhost or 127.0.0.1..

[christsong84]

obvous I know but always good to check...cups is running right? (/etc/init.d/cupsd status)

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

yeah, it says started and there are no errors in my log... just blocks me as soon as i get to managing printers or adding a printer

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

ok, fine, is there anyother way I can set up cups without that interface having to go into windows for gaming used to piss me off, now the only reason i keep windows around is to print and view pdf files... there used to be a guide on how to do it manually but i gguess once they came out with the web admin thing they deleted the guide.. I've gotten it set up before hp-deskjet 612c hpjis

all your cups config file should be in your /etc/cups/
if you need some help let me know.

[the_mgt]

does your /etc/hosts have this entry?

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1       localhost

It should have...

Did you check with ifconfig if there is a loopback device up running?
Does your apache now work on localhost or 127.0.0.1?

[-=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e]

my /etc/hosts has 127.0.0.1 gentoo

and apache is runing on localhost i think which might be that problem but when i change my /etc/hosts to localhost im locked out all together, I'm about to head out camping so I cant give much feedback for a little over a week, but will be sure to fish this up as soon as I get back

[UberLord]

So do this

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 gentoo localhost
