OK, I avoided answering this post becasue I don't have all the details, but... I remember trying to use SWAT under Redhat (5.2 or 6.1 I think) and there was a commnented out field in the inetd.conf that had to do with SWAT. Basically (according to my poor excuse for a memory) SWAT ran it's own web "server". The inetd entry (which was commented out by default for security reasons) called a specific command that returned the SWAT interface to the client browser. It had nothing to do with gnome or apache.
I'm sorry that's not a very detailed answer and with my current workload I can't research further right now. If I can find some time next week, I'll reply with more details. Back then, I found that Swat would hose up my smb.conf pretty bad, so I stopped using it (after I lost a few hours of configuration). I suggest being very careful and making backup's of the smb.conf before using. -doug -- Today, Peter Jay Salzman wrote: > begin Henry House <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > On Sun, Jul 14, 2002 at 11:57:52PM -0700, Dick Ely using JPS-SMTP & POP wrote: > > [...] > > > SWAT simply hangs when I try to run it and when I try to log on to > > > //localhost:901using gnome I get *connection refused*. > > > > > > > > > First: Why cannot I log on to //localhost:901 using gnome? > > > > This error likely means that there is no web server installed on your > > computer.
