Re: fred-client error - Re: httpd error

FredClient 1.6.1 Type "help", "license" or "credits" for more information. Using configuration from /etc/fred/fred-client.conf Connecting to localhost, port 700 ... ERROR: Server returned an empty message. Server didn't return Greeting message. Contact server administrator.

I guess I know. Problem could be SELinux. I always turn it off because it is a little bit complicated to run all this stuff in SELinux. If SELinux is enabled you have to allow apache to bind to this port by some special commands. About half a year ago I made this attempt and these are some commands, that may help: semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 43 semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 700 setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty=1 restorecon -R -v /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf But I think that this is not enough (maybe some other commands are needed), and finally I decided to disable SELinux at all. This is done in /etc/sysconfig/selinux where you must set SELINUX=disabled and restart linux. Hope this will help.
