Bug Description

Binary package hint: cupsys

Changing e.g. "Save debugging information for troubleshooting" on the above page in a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn", then clicking the "Change Settings" button, results in the message "Please stand by while the server restarts..."

No restart will occur though; the browser ends up on http://localhost:631/admin/?OP=redirect with

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:631.

...unless enforced manually by invoking "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart" from the command line.

(Similar symptoms had also been found in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/37986 but no tweaking has been applied to http server directives in the instant case.)
