Thanks, but I don't think it's a firewall issue. I don't have one.
This is basically a home PC that runs Linux. It is protected from the
outside world by a broadband router with a firewall, but I think this
just affects eth0, not lo. Or do I have that wrong?? At any rate,
iptables is running on my system but is set to allow everything.
I googled "localhost:15835" and find a few references, all having to do
with subversion.
Most notably, I find this:
http://www.endrun.org/xr/svn/source/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/README
where it says
"If you run httpd on a port other than 80, you can specify the port in
the URL: "http://localhost:15835" for example."
Earlier in the doc, it says "Httpd should be running on port 80."
So my question is why the default spec file that comes with the source
rpm uses this odd value? Is someone deliberately trying to make this
difficult? Or is there actually some significance to port 15835? I
have modified the specfile so it no longer points there. We shall see
what that does.
