(Solved) Re: Cups can't access admin screen

(1/6) > >>

athouston:
I have downloaded cups.tcz and followed the install / setup instructions. I have created the client.conf file and "cups status" reports cups is running.

I cannot browse to http:/localhost:631/admin. Firefox give a page not available error.

I rebooted after installing and creating the conf file. I have used both "ServerName 127.0.0.1" and ServerName 192.168.0.22" in different versions of the conf file without success.

Can anyone suggest possible things I've done wrong please?

Juanito:
client.conf is for using libcups stand-alone (as from cups-1.6.x)

cupsd.conf is for using the full version of the cups server/cups client install

athouston:
Thanks. I was just working off the instructions on the apps download page. This probably needs updating.

Cheers.

Juanito commented on bloat of new cups at the other thread for man page.

Yes this was predicted by me. If you feel the same way, I have kept old cups but need permission from you specifically to pm you a down load link. Forum rules forbid me to do it in the open forum ok?

2) It is unclear to me why you marked this as solved if you are still posting?
Can you do me a favour and "unsolve" this thread. As I have replied, it now appears in my reply posts so your replies will be seen by both Juanito and myself.....altho Juanito is very busy working on something so I have no idea where he gets his spare time.

No it does no such thing! It says "Some network users may need to create" meaning not all and unlikely anyone on USB

4) Describe your equipment pls, make mode and exactly how is it connecting please?
b) Have you checked the links to discover which package you need for a PPD?

I suggest you remove any of your files from persistence, reboot and start again please.

Now you have both Juanito (the good guy) and me (the bad guy) so you will print or I will come around your house and give you free beer....only joking....beer is bad for you  :P

5) When cups daemon is running correctly, yes I know it not for you, the web browser will take you to a help page if you click on it.
That is a design feature of most versions of cups.

Fair comment. I am not perfect. Most distros suffer various levels of doc failure, but if you get to the localhost page, all will be revealed.


good luck

athouston:
Yes my bad. Can you cut and paste the two threads together or whatever.

I picked cups because it lists both my printers in its configs so that's a good start.

See my comments in the other thread (following from your suggestions.

Cheers.
