[Solved] Unable to start the CUPS web interface

(1/3) > >>

Hello,

I'm still using TC 15.0.

It seems it's not enough to start cups to show the web interface on the browser.

Any guidelines or tutorial to follow? Or settings to do?

Many thanks

Juanito:
Have you followed the steps in the cups info file?

That's a thing that often escapes me, because I use to download the necessary packages before and then work offline (among a thousand thoughts).

And it seems the info file doesn't get downloaded with its packages.

So, I'll check it as soon as I can do that. Thank you  :)

So, I've definitely lost anything: I've started the cups daemon, the root password was previously set but it's never requested, and when I put the localhost:631 address on the browser I just get "Not Found".

Where I'm mistaken?

Rich:
Hi t18
It sounds like the root password is not set and not backed up.

Set the root password:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo passwd
root:12345
--- End code ---

Start the cups daemon:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/cups start
--- End code ---

Setup to backup your settings:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ echo usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf >> /opt/.filetool.lst
tc@box:~$ echo usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf >> /opt/.filetool.lst
tc@box:~$ echo etc/shadow >> /opt/.filetool.lst

# Add this next one when/if you have a .ppd file:
tc@box:~$ echo usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/**YOUR_PPD_FILE**  >> /opt/.filetool.lst

tc@box:~$ filetool.sh -b
--- End code ---
Make sure you are not using the  norestore  boot code.

Now try to connect to:

--- Code: ---http://localhost:631/admin
--- End code ---

If there are problems, see if any errors were logged:

--- Code: ---less /var/log/cups/error_log
--- End code ---
