Roger,



Do you have a web server (eg. Apache) installed and running?



Installed, yes - as I'm thinking apache is required learning at some stage in the near future. As for running, I've not done anything deliberately to run it - how would I tell if it's running? (there I go again, showing how green i am in linux)



Try browsing to http://localhost/, or the address of the server.


Alternativly, try netstat -an |grep 80 to see if any processes are listening
on port 80.  You could do the same for port 901 to see if anything is
listening on port 901 as well.

I just tried it and you don't seem to need apache running.
I installed swat from cd3 eg "rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/samba-swat.????.rpm"
( I recommend learning to install from the command line for redhat )
here's the resulting config file



# default: off # description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \ # to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \ # connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser. service swat { disable = no port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_failure += USERID }


I note the "server" & "only_from" lines are different from yours.
