The following reply was made to PR ports/52944; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "c. murdock" <cmurdock@ccfls.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/52944: CUPS is not configurable on 4.8-RELEASE Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 16:09:04 -0400 I had this problem as well. While investigating, I noticed that /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp didn't exist. I created them, and was able to get past the error message in bug 52944. However, at the last step in the Add Printer process though the CUPS utililty at localhost:631, where you click continue after choosing the printer model, I would get this error mesage: "server-error-internal-error". Upon further investigation, I found that /var/log/cups was also missing. I created that directory, and the logs appeared in there immediately. In the error log was the following: AddCert: Unable to create certificate file /usr/local/etc/cups/certs/0 - No such file or directory. I looked in /usr/local/etc/cups, and there was no certs directory. I created that. Then I tried again. The next time I tried adding the printer, I got this error message: add_printer: Unable to copy PPD file from /usr/local/share/cups/model/laserjet1100.ppd to /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/lj1100.ppd - No such file or directory! And again, /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd didn't exist, so I created it. Finally it added the printer, and it works, although it has crashed on me a couple of times and I'm getting continual messages warning me of possible DoS attacks from my own computer like so in my logs: Possible DoS attack - more than 10 clients connecting from <myhostname>! Also, although the web-based CUPS admin utility finds the drivers, KDE's utility (printmgr) does not. I had to manually browse to /usr/local/etc/cups/model/laserjet1100.ppd. All this makes me wonder what else is missing! -- Cindy Murdock Network Administrator Meadville Public Library/Crawford County Federated Library System http://meadvillelibrary.org & http://ccfls.org
