From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Description of problem: After "service restart cups" I get cupsd: Child exited with status 98! in /var/log/messages and cupsd does not start. This used to work with same cupsd.conf before updating to kernel- 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl. Commenting out the line "Port 631" in cupsd.conf resolves the problems. Interesting that this problem started after kernel update Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.19-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. service restart cups 2. 3. Actual Results: cupsd start fails Expected Results: cupsd should be running Additional info:
The redhat-config-printer tool doesn't put 'Port 631' in the configuration file, so I think you put that there yourself? In which case, I hope you removed redhat-config-printer so that it didn't add Listen lines of its own? Without seeing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf it's impossible to tell what's up really. Could you attach it please?
Created attachment 96309 [details] Current working cupsd.conf with offending "Port 631" commented out My current working cupsd.cond with offending "Port 631" directive commented out on line 406.
There is no bug here: you can't say 'Port 631' *and* 'Listen ...:631'.
