I have been trying to get SARA to work on my local network, but it doesn't even work for localhost.
I have downloaded the source and compiled it, everything seems fine but when I try to execute it with ./sara it opens up my web browser but I get an error that the server doesn't respond.
I can see sara is running using ps.
Figured it has to do with the firewall.
What have I done so for?
I added a line in /etc/services like this sara 64173/tcp
I have checked ipchains with ipchains -L no rules were added to the chains, only policy for all chains were set to accept.
I tried to add a rule to let through local traffic 127.0.0.1 on tcp port 64173 but it didn't work.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this?
Do I have to mix with xinetd or what?
When I tried it again at home then it worked.
At least to the point where I'm getting the first screen.
Then I had problems with netscape and perl which I didn't solve.
When I tried on another machine it worked right out of the box.
This other machine was Red Hat 7.1 while the other was a Red Hat 6.2 I think.
