running 'netstat -anp | grep LISTEN' should show the programs listening for
connections.  Look for a line like:
 tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443            0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      ####/program-name

127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255) is the same (loopback).  That particular about
"Unable to reliably determine fully qualified domain name" can be ignored.

> Were you able to start OpenSRF services OK? It's important to note the
distinction between the opensrf services and the apache web server.  the
/openils/conf stuff refers to the opensrf services, and /etc/apache2 stuff
refers to the apache stuff.  From this level, they are pretty independent
(they communicate at an application level, but are independent at this
stage).

I have a small lab with four machines whic dual boot Windows Vista and Linux Unbuntu 7.10. This is a exercise for me but I'd like to demo to the local library.
