on Thu, 16 Sep 2004 21:25:14 -0700 Ever since the security patch to CUPS yesterday, browsing to http://localhost:631 is broken on my system.
I've confirmed that cupsd is running, and funny thing is some url's in Kongs browser history work, but have broken images, e.g.,
http://localhost:631/jobs actually brings up the jobs page, but none of the images display.
Anyone else having a problem since the patch or have I managed to somehow bork up my system?

Scott, perhaps I'm not understanding what's not working for you. I did the same CUPS update yesterday and everything seems to be working fine on my HP LaserJet 5P.
I'm beginning to wonder if the update is a coincidence and something else is causing it to break. The only thing I've done different is I _did_ for the first time go to the KDE control center > peripherals > printers > print server > configure server, which I've never done before. I noticed the CUPS problem _after_ a trip thru there, which was also _after_ the patch update, so it could have been either one that caused the problem.
When I go to http://localhost:631 all of the links display and all work. When I queue up a few print jobs and go to http://localhost:631/jobs all of them display there.
What I'm not understanding is where you say the "images" don't display. What "images"? If you mean pictures representing the jobs then I'm not getting those. But if you mean a line of text describing the print jobs in progress or in the queue, then yes, I am getting those.
The graphic images (icons, etc) that make up the displayed web page. They are all broken.
Sorry, if this reply is of no help to you. But I am curious to understand the issue better in case I **am** having the same problem you describe but maybe I'm not smart enough to realize it. ;o)
You'd know if you were, the http://localhost:631/ page won't display, object not found. It's real obvious if it's broken. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.108-default x86_64
