Discussion

Please check what you have configured as your server address and port. Post that config line here.

I get exactly the same thing using MoinMoin DesktopEdition - 1.5.4 [release] in my Fedora Core 6. And there is default configuration for MoinMoin, nothing has been changed:

# Port (default 8080)
    # To serve privileged port under 1024 you will have to run as root
    port = 8080

    # Interface (default 'localhost')
    # '' - will listen to any interface
    interface = 'localhost' 

(PS: It worked properly in FC5)

• Please do a ifconfig lo as root and post the result here (the interface should be up and 127.0.0.1), then do a ping localhost also. Can you start moin as root?

  • ping localhost didn't work and I finally got cause of the problem. I forgot that name 'localhost' has been changed to the another one in my computer settings. Use of real $HOST value instead of 'localhost' in moin.py solved the problem. Thanks and sorry for trouble. Hmm, I guess localhost should always resolve to 127.0.0.1 (and lo interface being up and running). If this is not the case, I guess you will run into lots of trouble, not only with moinmoin.

    • Googling helped me. It is the solved Fedora Core 6` bug dealing with network services. fedorasolved.org
