[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#373281: cupsys: browser admin problems fixed by using ip6-localhost:631

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal


I had problems getting Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 to do CUPS administration 
on http://localhost:631/

I was able to get things working better by using:

http://ip6-localhost:631/

for reference, my /etc/hosts is:

127.0.0.1       localhost       victoria

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

and I had not done anything to use IP6 specifically in CUPS.

Regards,

Arthur Marsh.
