Thanks Simon! My original post was very clear as to my Pound problem: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2008/2008-06/1214199931000#1214199931000 and ended with a series of questions that I hoped would solve this problem in a simple 'step-by-step' process.
Replies - like yours, tend to jump in at point when information previously noted by me has been missed or ignored. However, I appreciate ALL help, and in an effort to resolve this issue, I have followed every suggestion in this mailing list and replied in detail to each one, while trying to answer my original questions and adapt these as I've learned more about Pound. Thus, replying to you in detail: Thank you for clearing up the socket creation process. This has removed a large blackhole in my knowledge, and I feel a lot closer to solving this problem now. As I've written before, I can directly view the web page at backend 192.168.0.160:8080. But I still telnetted to this as per your advice, added GET /, and yes I got HTML back, which I recognise as being part of the web app. I performed sockstat (FreeBSD equiv of netstat) and confirmed that Pound is running and listening to 192.168.0.161:80 - as it should be. So 1 and 2 are fine. If you had read a previous mail from me, you would know that I have already posted logs, and I have already noted that I haven't changed the config file at all from when Pound originally worked. var/log/messages: server pound: no service "GET / HTTP/1.1" from 192.168.0.254 (the router) And to reply to your bracketed point - I have NEVER believed that poundctl is necessary for the normal running of Pound. But to repeat myself (clealy) once agani: I suspect I just need to be shown how to run the poundctl command to RE-ENABLE the service. My original sin was to disable Pound (thinking it has inhibiting SSH - as again I've written earlier), which I must have done via the poundctl command, and being a noob at Pound, I'm struggling to re-enable it. I'm sorry if I seem rude, but I have been very clear in my replies and questions, and repeating what I wrote only a few emails back seems rather inefficient. The reason for the length of my original post, was that I wanted to avoid being misunderstood and repeating myself as I have thus done since. I'm happy and appreciative of any and all help I get and I regard Pound as a great free product. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send big files for free.
