I just installed Typo 4 on my Ubuntu box. I run > > typo install foo > > Starting Typo on port 4821 I then try > > wget [http://127.0.0.1:4821](http://127.0.0.1:4821) but no connection is made. Same problem in firefox. No connection. The mongrel log is \*\* Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:4821 \*\* Starting Rails with production environment… \*\* Rails loaded. \*\* Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins \*\* Signals ready. TERM =\> stop. USR2 =\> restart. INT =\> stop (no restart). \*\* Rails signals registered. HUP =\> reload (without restart). It might not work well. \*\* Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:4821 \*\* Writing PID file to /usr/home/brad/projects/ruby/typo/foo/tmp/pid.txt Strange IP address 0.0.0.0 ??? Is that correct? typo has started mongrel as 10085 ? Rl 0:01 /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/local/bin/mongrel\_rails start /usr/home/brad/projects/ruby/typo/foo -d false -e production -P /usr/home/brad/projects/ruby/typo/foo/tmp/pid.txt -p 4821 Does anybody have an idea what is up here?

Right. The output seems fine. I don’t have a clue what could be the problem. Some more tips: 1. try running mongrel with specific address: -a 127.0.0.1 2. try using your outer address (-a 192.186.1.5) 3. are you using some kind of firewall that could block the traffic? 4. try using webrick instead of mongrel ---
