Have you checked hostname resolution?  Does:

http://127.0.0.1:631/admin

work?  Check /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, and /etc/resolv.conf.  If your
/etc/host.conf has the default resolve order, the system will look in
/etc/hosts to resolve "localhost" first.  You might want an entry like:

127.0.0.1       localhost.mydomain.com localhost

CUPS also has a security mechanism setup for who can access the server.
localhost (or 127.0.0.1) is allowed by default, so I don't think that is
biting you.  You may want to check /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf to be
sure.
