Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS / IPCop / Error: nssock: failed to listen on 200.200.200.200:8000: Cannot assign requested address
I've tried installing openACS. The installation appears to run fine until I try to browse to the welcome page.
In my server log file (/usr/local/aolserver/log/server.log), I don't have any line like the installation sample below
[01/Jun/2000:12:11:20][5914.2051][-nssock-] Notice: nssock: listening on http://localhost.localdomain:8000 (127.0.0.1:8000)
Instead I have the lines
Error: nssock: failed to listen on 200.200.200.200:8000: Cannot assign requested address.
I don't know why it's not listening to the localhost ip address. Instead it seems to be trying to listen to the ipCop green interface ip address. (200.200.200.200).
Full log reproduced below. I'd appreciate any assistance.
thanks
rowan

I set the hostname and address to 127.0.0.1 within my sample-config.tcl file and found that I was able to browse to the homepage. (My sample-config.tcl file follows).
Hopefully I'll explain this clearly but let me know if anything sounds odd.
I have two machines. One is a firewall running ipCop and the other a redhat 9 linux workstation. My firewall machine has two network cards. One card links to my ASDL modem and the other links to my linux workstation.
I have ipCop configured for GREEN+RED interfaces. The RED interface is for the external network (internet access via my ASDL modem) and the GREEN interface is for my internal network (ie my linux workstation).
I set the GREEN interface address to 200.200.200.200.
inet addr:200.200.200.200
Bcast:200.200.200.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
The ip address for my RED interface is set via DHCP and I set my DHCP hostname as ipcop.
The ip address of my firewall machine is supplied by my internet service provider. It's not a static ip address.
inet addr:203.217.68.128
Bcast:203.217.68.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
The ip address of my workstation is provided by ipCop. I enabled ipCop's DHCP server function - providing a range of addresses between
200.200.200.200
and
200.200.200.250
I defined the "primary DNS" setting on the "DHCP server configuration screen" as 200.200.200.200
ifconfig on my local workstation tells me that the ip address of my workstation is
inet addr:200.200.200.201
Bcast:200.200.200.255
Mask:255.255.255.0

This seems to be the startup file for AOLserver not the one for openacs. Should try with the one for openacs.
now i'm trying to test my aolserver on mac os 10.3.9 but there have problem with ip, which is ip is already in use
any tips??
