[SOLVED] CUPS doesn't work

Hi there,

I'm configuring Arch on my Dell d600. I installed cups via paman and started it with /etc/rc.d/cups start. There were no errors on the commandline. grep -R [Cc]ups * in /var/log/ showed  only the following in cups/error_log:

D [14/Sep/2008:16:00:02 +0200] Report: stringpool-total-bytes=3632

cupsctl gives me no output (just hangs) and the webinterface is unreachable.

There is also no file /var/log/cups/acess_log.

Help?

Re: [SOLVED] CUPS doesn't work

Is your computer still called 'localhost'? If not, try to setup CUPS through the web interface by using <yourhost>:631.

Re: [SOLVED] CUPS doesn't work

I tried various adresses: localhost, D600, and the ip.

/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost  D600

/etc/rc.conf:
HOSTNAME="D600"

Even 127.0.0.1:631 doesn't succeed.

Edit:

Found it. 'lo' was in the INTERFACES array in rc.conf. I don't use the normal networking daemon, using wicd instead.
I took it out and rebooted. Now i can access the web-interface.

EDIT: How do i mark this solved?
