    localhost:631 page load error

    When I type http://localhost:631 in the browser, I get the following:

    *****************

    Failed to Connect

    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:631.

    Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

    * Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

    Try Again

    ************


    It should go to the CUPS pages. But it doesn't. Here are the facts, so that someone can help me resolve this.

    * I am not connected to a network. Just a simple ethernet cable hooked directly to the modem.
    * I do not have any proxy or firewall software installed
    * My printer cable is a USB hooked directly from the computer to the printer. No hubs, switches, or network hardware.
    * I am not working in Offline mode.
    * I am using Intrepid
    * All other web pages load as they should
    * This issue does not exist in Hardy or in the Intrepid Live CD. This only happens once Intrepid is installed to a hard drive. I have tried several different hard drives. Same problem.

    Perhaps a bit silly, but have you got cups installed? Have you tried konqueror?

        Konqueror's error message is a little more descriptive, but it still assumes some sort of server/network setup, which I do not have.

        ******************
        The requested operation could not be completed

        Connection to server refused


        Details of the Request:
        URL: http://localhost:631
        Protocol: http
        Date and Time: Saturday 20 December 2008 12:50
        Additional Information: localhost: Unknown error

        Description:
        The server localhost refused to allow this computer to make a connection.
        Possible Causes:
        The server, while currently connected to the Internet, may not be configured to allow requests.
        The server, while currently connected to the Internet, may not be running the requested service (http).
        A network firewall (a device which restricts Internet requests), either protecting your network or the network of the server, may have intervened, preventing this request.

        Possible Solutions:
        Try again, either now or at a later time.
        Contact the administrator of the server for further assistance.
        Contact your appropriate computer support system, whether the system administrator, or technical support group for further assistance.

          Have you got a firewall?

              Can you ping localhost? If so, I'd try to reinstall cups - using the purge option:

              Code:
              sudo apt-get remove --purge cups
sudo apt-get install cups

                I have the Gnome Printer configuration programs installed and I get the following errors as well:

                ***************
                CUPS server error

                There was an error during the CUPS operation 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'
                ****************

                and


                ***************
                CUPS server error

                The CUPS scheduler is not running.
                ***************


                Anyone know how to bring this thing online?

                    I logged out and logged back in as root. The installation was completed. Problem still persists. I do not know how to "ping" localhost.

                      Code:
                      ping localhost

                        ping localhost works. Still no go on the primary issue.

                            Binary talk: every process has an exit status 0=it doesn't work, 1=it works.

                            So, localhost is running and can be talked to using ping, cups is running just fine but you cannot talk to it using a browser.

                            I am at my wits' end, I'm afraid. If I were you I'd try the same question in the Ubuntu forum (much larger user base). It is not Kubuntu specific after all.

                            Oh, and I would really appreciate an update 'cos I'm nosy Or simply put a link here to your thread on the ubuntu forum...

                              Try entering http://127.0.0.1:631 in the browser and see what happens.
