Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 7.1 distribution. I've already installed samba and swat on my system. However, when I open browser and type http://localhost:901/ it says "Unable to connect , Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:901"

Below are informations about my installation:

root@tim:/# whereis samba
samba: /etc/samba /usr/lib/samba /usr/share/samba /usr/share/man/man7/samba.7.gz

root@tim:/# whereis swat
swat: /usr/sbin/swat /usr/share/man/man8/swat.8.gz

root@tim:/# cat /etc/services | grep swat
swat 901/tcp # swat

root@tim:/# cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep swat
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/swat

Do I have to do any other configurations ? Btw, when I go the browser and type http://localhost, and the same problem happens, however if I ping localhost in the shell, localhost does respond....

Please help

run "ps ax" to check if swat is running... have you started the service at all? if you have, run "lsof -i" to see what is listening on what ports.

As your instruction, after I do

>swat&
and look at

root@tim:/etc/samba# ps aux | grep swat
root 10932 0.2 0.1 9020 2172 pts/0 T 14:40 0:00 swat

And yes swat is running, but I still can't access http://localhost:901/

Any Ideas why ?

Omg, I'm so stu......

All my configurations are correct. All I need to do is starting inetd service and I'm able to access to SWAT page now.
