Fatdog 64 printing stopped and CUPS server error Subject description: Server Error on http://localhost:631/admin
Hi All
Printing has stopped working and CUPs reports server error on http://localhost:631/admin.
I presume there is some access error to the relevant files, is there a way of reestablishing access?
Thanks for the link to the fix advice, but I couldn't get the chmod instruction to work, I just couldn't work around the access privileges required to use it.
So I started Fatdog with savefile = none which gave me access to CUPS so after restoring all my local settings and setting up the printer I tied to save the savefile! Again, I couldn't get the privileges to save over the existing savefile, so I saved to the alternate disk drive.
I now have an option of which savefile to use at boot-up but the printing is now fixed.
I would be grateful for a pointer to where I can learn about getting privileges to overwrite existing savefiles?
Once this CUPS-related corruption occurs, it is often simplest to start over with a clean install. But keep track of what additional packages you install in case it happens again.
When you booted with "savefile=none" you could have deleted the current savefile, then made a new one.
