Subject: RWiki problem - connection refused


I set up RWiki, but always got an error when accessing CGI script: "CGI
exec failed" or "RWiki server seems to be down...". In RWiki log I have
following exception:

F, [2003-05-14T05:48:36.913514 #2721] FATAL -- RWikiCGIApp: Detected an

Of course netstat shows ruby process running on port 8470. It looks like
RWiki tries to open another port (besides the default 8470) and fails...

I installed two different versions of Rwiki and all required stuff.I did
it by hand as well using RWiki-installer - the exception is al.ways
there :(

I even copied the whole site_ruby directory from another machine (where
Rwiki is running flawlessly) - to no avail.

I am not sure whether this is not the system (not ruby or RWiki) issue -
but I don't have any firewall running (or any other kind of stuff that
can block ports). I'm using RedHat 8.0.

Does anyone know how to deal with this issue?
