RE: connect: Connection Refused

[Vicky C. Miller]

Mel and Everyone That Provided Suggestions:

Thanks.  The problem has been resolved.  The hosts file in the /etc/
directory was updated.  The host server name was updated in the config file
and also in the gnatsweb-site.pl file.

The gnatsd.conf file is the one you want for the version you're on
(see Hans-Albert's reply).

With the latest (4.0) version, changes take affect immediately after
the config files are modified. I'm not sure about older versions of
Gnats....I've only recently been involved with the project.

Good luck.
