Hello again, Well, I had samba and swat both installed during the initial installation. After I got my network up and running I went to try the SWAT config tool to get samba running. It brings up a Konqueror window and gives the error "cannot connect to localhost port 901"
Ok, so I figure maybe bad install. So I verify my packages, still no dice. I check for upgrades, samba has a newer version package. So I download the rpm and install it. Then I start the samba services. Try swat again. No dice. I figure maybe bastille is interfering. I shut down bastille and try again, no dice. Hmmm.... The next thing I think is maybe I should verify apache is working properly. So I test apache. I bring up a window https://127.0.0.1. Bingo apache welcome page. Try swat again. No dice. I figured maybe I should just go the webmin route to save me the hassle of figuring this issue out. I go to mandrakeuser.org docs. I pull up the doc's for https and webmin. I scan down a few lines and what does it say? It says to modify httpd.conf changing user and group to root. No way in heck I'm running it as root being the new admin that I am. So for fun I decide to try anyway, just to see. Edit the doc, restart httpd, failed. Apache doesn't want to let me run as root. So I figure webmin is out. So as a last ditch effort, I try the MCC. It at least has the basic config wizard. Maybe if I could get that far I could get swat working. The wizard gets to the second screen and reports that my network is not configured 'at all'. Now I'm completely confused. Not only is my network configured, not only is it currently working, but I even used the damn MCC to configure it (at first at least, the InteractiveBastille later). What the heck should I try next? Thanks, Ken __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
