Connection Refused [SignupClient.pm] line 189

[Johannes Strydom]

Hi all,

We're using the latest cvs freeside version with apache  version 1.3.9

I've successfully added users to our shell machine through the "manual"
interface. That left me with some joy.
Now we're trying to get the signup server / client to work with not so
much success.
i've got the signup.cgi script in the /cgi-bin/ directory of our
webserver . The server run as suEXEC user
freeside. I'm also pretty confident that I've setup the external machine

as per the signup.html (or maybe not)
I've started the fs_signup_server with no problem, it sends the
packages, pops etc to the external server's fs_signupd
deamon which in turn ackowledges receipt of the info.

Now I've loaded the signup.cgi script in my netscape browser and it
looks great.

I complete the signup form with all the required info and submit the
form by clicking on the signup button.

Now the problem starts, it just sits there and eventually times out with

"The document contains no data"
and in the web server's error log as listed below

Looking at the log it seems that there is some authentication problem
and we just can't figure it out.

Please help.
