1750.0. "AVFW V2.1: Can't connect to localhost:8314..." by FRUST::PAUL (Oliver Paul, IST/IAS, Frankfurt/Germany (FRS) DTN 861-3881) Fri Jan 31 1997 12:28

I'm pretty new to Firewalls but I had to take over a job from a firewall 
expert who left the company. I installed the AltaVista Firewall V2.1 on a
Alpha 3000/300 (one network interface, just for playing around here...) under
DUNIX V4.0 (and later V3.2G with the saem effect).

I followed the instructions in the installation guide (installed a vanilla
UNIX, enabled C2 etc.). When the system rebooted, it came up with DFWNetscape
which tried to connect to localhost:8314 forever...

This means that I couldn't continue with the installation as I didn't get the
Firewall GUI. The daemons (httpd, httpd-child, www-proxy) were up and running
as far as I can see.

Some network expert told me to bring up the loopback interface (lo0) with 
# inconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 up

After that I could connect to localhost:8314 and got the AVFW GUI but it wasn't
mentioned in the installation guide and so I wondered if that is just a
workaround and probably not the real solution. I was searching through this
conference and was surprised that nobody else had the same problem...

Can anybody shed some light on this ?

Choo!

Hi,

Like you I had the same problem. The only thing you have to do is to configure
the serial line interface (SLIP). Restart everything and ...
