Cups, 631, outside port access fails

[daicoden]

Hi,

I installed cups, and believe I have followed the instructions correctly. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/article.html

I am installing it on a local server, and can't accesses the web interface from a foreign machine. On the cups machine I tested it via:

curl 127.0.0.1:631 > index.html

no errors.
Then I try from the same location

curl 192.168.2.100:631
#curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.2.100: Connection refused

So I am unable to access cups from a foreign Port.

My sockstat reveals:

sockstat -4 -l
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS      
root     sendmail   894   3  tcp4   127.0.0.1:25          *:*
root     sshd       887   4  tcp4   *:22                  *:*
root     cupsd      775   5  tcp4   127.0.0.1:631         *:*
root     cupsd      775   7  udp4   *:631                 *:*
root     syslogd    657   7  udp4   *:514                 *:*

I am wondering if it is because the 127.0.0.1:631 is before the *:631, but I am not sure how to test this since they both have the same pid.

I tried to fix it by install nginx and set up a proxy, but from a foreign port I get an error 400, bad request. I think that might just be how cups works with the proxy though... I would expect a 500 if it was an error with the proxy.

Thank you!

Thank you!

In order to get it working all I had to do was add a listen for the server ip.

<Location />
   Allow all #add this line
   Order allow,deny
