This bug also affects CUPS in the Feisty beta (2007-03-25). >From a default CUPS configuration, changing the server settings through the port 631 web interface, results in loss of connectivity to the server. A manual "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart" is required to restore access.
The error log suggests that the "cupsys" user does not have the required privileges to bind to port 631: E [25/Mar/2007:16:30:29 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 127.0.0.1:631 - Permission denied. E [25/Mar/2007:16:31:19 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 127.0.0.1:631 - Permission denied. E [25/Mar/2007:16:31:19 +0100] cupsdStartBrowsing: Unable to bind broadcast socket - Permission denied. This bug has been reported before (as #37986) and seems to be present in Dapper and Edgy. -- Cannot connect to http://localhost:631/admin https://launchpad.net/bugs/59266 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
