cups errors

I've tried to configure cups and I cannot get it working right.   I downloaded everything according the wiki and I got an error about it not binding 127.0.0.1:631.   I changed the cupsd.conf to just say Port 631 and it is now able to start.  (I can see it running when I do ps -A |grep cupsd.   
  The problem is I cannot connect to http://localhost:631.  It just times out.  I have posted the bottom of my error_log file.   I have tried restarting the computer, adding cups to the daemon list, and restarting the server many times.  It always looks like it loads cups, but still cannot connect.     Tried both firefox and epiphany and they both timeout.   I have also posted my cupsd.conf file.   I really love arch, but I have to be able to print!
Thanks in advance!   

Here is my error_log:

Re: cups errors

I have past the port binding problem.   The problem I am having is this: (as shown in my log above):

E [08/Mar/2007:16:01:33 -0800] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported

I think that is why I can't connect or cups doesn't load correctly.  I'm using everything default Arch, so nothing has been changed from a default install.

Re: cups errors

The only difference I see between what you have in your cupsd.conf and my is in the
<Limit All> tag. I am explicitly allowing localhost.

  <Limit All>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow localhost
    Allow 172.16.1.*
  </Limit>

Not sure if this helps.
