Mel and Everyone That Provided Suggestions:
Thanks. The problem has been resolved. The hosts file in the /etc/
directory was updated. The host server name was updated in the config file
and also in the gnatsweb-site.pl file.

The gnatsd.conf file is the one you want for the version you're on
(see Hans-Albert's reply).

With the latest (4.0) version, changes take affect immediately after
the config files are modified. I'm not sure about older versions of
Gnats....I've only recently been involved with the project.
Good luck.

It's the same. This is thanks to the fact that gnatsd is started via inetd:
inetd starts a new gnatsd for each connection, and gnatsd reads
its configuration from the files.

Our site has been using GNATS for a quite some time; about 2 years. It is
running on a Sun Solaris box. After having changed the IP address of the
server, we noticed that whenever we try to login into Gnats even via a URL
on the Sun Box, the Gnats Database initial screen displays with the
following messages:
Error: Couldn't connect to gnats server
host gnats, port 1529
connect: Connection refused
The config has not been changed. Inetd.conf and services files have the
correct entries for Gnats. Any suggestions anyone?

There's a gnatsd.host_access file which you probably need to
update...it lives in either the <instdir>/share/gnats or
<instdir>/etc/gnats directory depending on which version
of gnats you're using (where <instdir> refers to the
directory in which gnats is installed).
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Mel. I checked all of the directories on the Solaris
and can't find a "gnatsd.host_access" file. Is this a file I can add in?
If so, can you provide sample contents of the file so that I can tailor it
accordingly? There is a gnatsd.conf file where I can add a host name, but
this would be adding the host name or IP address of the user contacting
gnatsd. We are running GNATS 3.113.1. If I make changes to the gnats.access
and other files, is there a recompile process that must be run to get the
changes to take effect?

In GNATS 3.1xx, this file is called gnatsd.conf.

It must also contain the host name or IP address of the WWW server
running Gnatsweb, if you use the WWW interface (as you are mentioning
access via URL, you probably do). If this is the same machine as the
one on which gnatsd runs, it is of course affected by the same IP
address
change.
If gnatsd.conf gives the name (not IP address) of a host, this must be
the "canonical" hostname, i.e., the first one found for this IP address.
Check /etc/hosts, NIS, DNS, whatever you use for hostname resolution.
Note that you must check "reverse name solving" (i.e. mapping from IP
address to hostname) in this case; I have occasionally seen DNS
misconfigurations that missed this part.
