Title: Failed to connect

Hi,

I have just installed apache httpd-2.2.14 on a linux machine running SLES10. I am running the web server as non-root, so I have set the listening port to "23456" in my httpd.conf file. It appears to start correctly:

> netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 234
tcp        0      0 :::23456                :::*                    LISTEN

but when I try to access http://localhost in my browser, I get a "failed to connect" error. The error_log and access_log don't contain any relevant info (see below).

The first few lines of my /etc/hosts file contains:
---------------------------------------
127.0.0.1       localhost

# special IPv6 addresses
::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
---------------------------------------

I tried to check the connection with "cURL" and telnet:

> curl http://localhost/
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

> telnet localhost 23456
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
^[[         
Connection closed by foreign host.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Regards
Steve


The access log contains:
> cat access_log
::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 -
::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 -
::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 -

I only noticed the last line after I had tried accessing http://127.0.0.1 I don't think it was there after trying http://localhost


The error_log contains:
