Swat => " The document contains no data" <- RH8

Hi 4 all!!

After hours and hours, the port 901 (Swat) is openned in RH8.0

root@MAQ711 etc]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/swat # default: off # description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \ # to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \ # connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser. service swat { disable = no port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_failure += USERID } [root@MAQ711 etc]#

But the message The document contains no data apperar when: http://192.168.6.51:901/

Note: http://localhost:901/ and http://127.0.0.1:901/ aren`t functional

(Sorry by bad english :-( )

is that using mozilla/netscape?

Yeah!!!

Mozilla and Galeon

My desktop with SuSE have swat, and is functional if I type:
http://192.168.7.3:901

But in the server this message appear...
http://192.168.6.51:901

I remove iptables but nothing...

Thank's!!!!

1. Is there a /etc/samba/smb.conf file?

2. Does /etc/services have "swat 901/tcp #swat" in it?

3. Assuming that the config you first posted was in you /etc/xinetd.d/swat file, it should NOT be duplicated in you /etc/xinetd.conf file.
Also, I have the IP address that my router gives me in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file along with the loopback ip.
Like this/
only_from = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.102

4. Go to the GNOME or KDE menu --> Server Settings --> Services. Make sure that you have xinetd and smb checked and started, also make sure that swat is checked.

Also, might want to check you /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow /etc/lmhosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts files

Good Luck!

Hei Csurfer,
Thank`s for reply

1-) Yeah, samba is functional, vi /etc/samba/smb.conf rulez

2-)

 [root@MAQ711 root]# cat /etc/services | grep swat
swat            901/tcp                         # Samba Web Administration Tool

3-) Yes, is my /etc/xinetd.d/swat...

[root@MAQ711 etc]# cat /etc/xinetd.conf

# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
        instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success          = HOST PID
        log_on_failure          = HOST
        cps                     = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d

4-)

[root@MAQ711 root]# chkconfig --list | grep swat
        swat:   on
[root@MAQ711 root]# chkconfig --list | grep xinetd
xinetd          0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
xinetd based services:
[root@MAQ711 root]#

This files are ok???

[root@MAQ711 etc]# cat /etc/samba/lmhosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

root@MAQ711 etc]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       MAQ711  localhost.localdomain   localhost

Hosts.allow and hosts.deny are only comment

Iptables and Ipchains not are installed...

Please, check if my files are = your files, ok?

Thank`s again

Yeeaahhh!!!!

Resolution:

In mozilla / galeon:

No Proxy for: localhost, 127.0.0.1

Only This

Thank's for help!!!!

Hi!

ehm... I read all the postings (I believe).
I couldn't use swat at all and reading http://www.linuxhelpnetwork.net/foru...opic.php?t=580
I found out that my new installed RedHat 9 didn't install swat at all, so I installed the rpm I got from RedHat as explained in the link above.

I changed the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file "Disable = No" (the rest is the same as in this posting)

I checked the /etc/services file (there is swat 901/tcp)

I commented my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files (now ALL:ALL should be enabled

The services SMB and SWAT are on (I checked with chkconfig --list).

In my "Preferences/Advanced/Proxies" setting for mozilla I have checked "Direct connection to the internet"

I still get (trying 127.0.0.1:901 or my.ip.adr.ess:901) the message "The document contains no data"

and I really don't know where else I can check!!!

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Roby

P.S.: I made and checked all the things that are in this (and other posting) so I don't even know which other information about my installation you need

P.P.S.: byside: if (with mozilla) I try to connect to localhost:901 it will start to search ("trying to connect") to www.localhost.com ... I didn't find where to change this setting in the "Preferences" of Mozilla

Folks,

Had the document contains no data problem....

Fixed it by changing the only_from = 127.0.0.1 to only_from = 192.168.0.5
and then accessing via the web browser on 192.168.0.5:901

Using the localhost address appears to cause issues, I recommend using your
machines main ip address from eth0.

This can be got by using ifconfig

rgs,
