I am using Debian, and I am trying to configure the roundup issue
tracking package.

When I point my browser to the server, I am getting an error:

Failed to Connect The connection was refused when attempting to contact
http://markhobley.yi.org:8050/

Testing with telnet on the server localhost:

telnet localhost 8050
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
]

telnet markhobley.yi.org 8050
Trying 10.0.0.8...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

telnet 10.0.0.8 8050
Trying 10.0.0.8...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

It looks like there must be some sort of security running that is
preventing access to the server by hostname or IP address, making it
available only via loopback.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Mark.

Maybe the server on port 8050 is configured to listen only on 127.0.0.1?
