## How to deal with the bug until it is fixed
= Discussion =
Please check what you have configured as your server address and port. Post that config line here.

----
I get exactly the same thing using MoinMoin DesktopEdition - 1.5.4 [release] in my Fedora Core 6. And there is default configuration for MoinMoin, nothing has been changed:

{{{
# Port (default 8080)
    # To serve privileged port under 1024 you will have to run as root
    port = 8080

    # Interface (default 'localhost')
    # '' - will listen to any interface
    interface = 'localhost' }}}
(PS: It worked properly in FC5)

 . Please do a `ifconfig lo` as root and post the result here (the interface should be up and 127.0.0.1), then do a `ping localhost` also. Can you start moin as root?
  . ''ping localhost'' didn't work and I finally got cause of the problem. I forgot that name 'localhost' has been changed to the another one in my computer settings. Use of real $HOST value instead of 'localhost' in moin.py solved the problem. Thanks and sorry for trouble.

  Hmm, I guess localhost should always resolve to 127.0.0.1 (and lo interface being up and running). If this is not the case, I guess you will run into lots of trouble, not only with moinmoin.
   . Googling helped me. It is the solved Fedora Core 6` bug dealing with network services. [[http://fedorasolved.org/network-solutions/misc-net-issues/|fedorasolved.org]]
