Hi, I have just reinstalled centos 4.2 on my comp and update everything (not the kernel) from update repository. The kernel has been updated from centosplus repo. When i try to start cups, i get the followring error: Starting cups: cupsd: Child exited with status 98! [FAILED] How can i fix this problem? Thai
Look in /var/log/cups/error_log for a description of the problem. When I've gotten this error lately, I've seen this line:
"StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address c0a800fe:631 - Address already in use."
Looking in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I see the following:
Listen 10.0.0.116:631 Listen 10.0.0.116:631 Listen 127.0.0.1:631
Getting rid of the duplicate Listen line fixes the problem. I've noticed this problem whenever one of the assistant admins here uses system-config-printer.
