Trying to install gnats on Fedora Core 2

["Petri Garagorri G." <pgaragorri@ctio.noao.edu>]

Hello fellows!

I've been trying to install gnats4 on Fedora Core2, but so far no luck.

I have followed what gnats4 documentation says to install it. I 
currently have a working installation
on  a  Redhat 7.3  machine,  so  I've copied almost all config files 
from that machine to the one with
FC2,  I've  changed all those  lines  that  reference stuff from the 7.3 
machine so now they reference
stuff on the FC2 machine.

But when I try the telnet /host/ 1529 thing i get the "Connection closed 
by foreign host." message.
(It's not a firewall thing since i disabled it but still get the message)

I tried with gnatsweb, executing the command:
/make test USERNAME=gnats PASSWORD=kiLLer7 DATABASE=cissdb/

...and I get:

/connect...........................................FAIL

Gnatsweb was unable to connect to the GNATS server.

There are several possible reasons for this.  Start off by checking
that the USERNAME, PASSWORD and DATABASE parameters you supplied are
valid.  If they are, there may be a problem in the configuration of
your GNATS server.  Check your GNATS installation, particularly the
host access files (remember that the web server needs access to the
GNATS server), then run the tests again.

make: *** [test] Error 9

*I ran the configure script like this:*
configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnats4 --with-gnats-service=ciss-gnats 
--with-gnats-default-db=/usr/local/gnats4/com/cissdb

###################################################################################################

*On the gnatsd.user_access file we have:*
gnats:$0$kiLLer7:admin:  <- gnats is also a user on the system, with his 
home dir on the same machine
                                                where I'm trying to 
install GNATS

*My databases file says:*
default:Bug database:/usr/local/gnats4/com/cissdb
cissdb:CISS Bug database:/usr/local/gnats4/com/cissdb

*My gnats.host_access file says:*
139.229.2.147:none:    <- I changed this to 127.0.0.1 but still got the 
same results
*.*:deny:                      <- I commented this one but I still got 
the same results
                                         I even changed from /none/ to 
/edit/...but still no luck

*the services (on /etc) file says:
*ciss-gnats      1529/tcp        prmsd gnatsd    # GNATS, cygnus bug 
tracker*
*
*and the ciss-gnats file on /etc/xinetd.d contains*
service ciss-gnats
{
        disable = no
        socket_type = stream
        protocol = tcp
        wait = no
        user = gnats
        server = /usr/local/gnats4/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
        server_args = gnatsd
}

Thx a lot in advance!

PD: Has somebody installed GNATS on FC2 and succeeded?
