Configuring gnats

Configuring gnats

[Bodnyk, Bruce W]

I'm attempting to install gnats 3.113 on a system running Debian Linux. I've
tried
to follow the installation guide but seem to be having some problems. In
addition I
installed gnats2w to have web access to gnats.

When I access the /cgi-bin/gnats2w/index.cgi I get the Bug Tracking System
page
but when I attempt to access one of links nothing happens. I do get a
message at the
bottom of my netscape page saying "Connect: Contacting host: localhost...".
Eventually
I get a "Not Found" page saying the requested URL
/cgi-bin/gnats2w/submit.cgi was not found
on the server.

I'm getting the feeling that my gnatsd daemon is not running.

I added the line "support 1529/tcp   #GNATS" to my /etc/services file.

I also added the line
"support  stream  tcp  nowait  gnats  /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd
gnatsd" to my 
inetd.conf file.

Is the gnatsd daemon supposed to be running all the time?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Bruce

gnats2w doesn't use gnatsd, so this is not the problem.  More likely, it
could be something with your Web server configuration or net filtering.
Look at your Web server error log.

BTW, I'd suggest you to try out gnats-3.999 from Debian testing,
together with Gnatsweb (please note Gnatsweb *does* use gnatsd).  Both
GNATS 3.113 and gnats2w are no longer maintained now.
