Another possibility is port 80 is in use - greenstone seems to grab another port in this case - so check the error screen when you try to launch the local library the url generated may be something like this http://aac70081.dcis:1096/ (:1096 is jut an anexample - it may generate another port number) note the port no :1096 If you put in http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ still wont work - you will have to add the port number. Like this http://localhost:1096/ or http://127.0.0.1:1096/ Another problem on windows I have the problem that greenstone gets a local machine name of the form: http://aac70081.dcis/ (asset number.department) But the machine(network?) is not set up to recognise the local name. I think this is solvable by changing the HOSTS file (no filename extension - just 'hosts') [C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts] below the line '127.0.0.1 localhost' I add the line: 127.0.0.1 aac70081.dcis (It seems to work for me) Of course neither of these things may have anything to do with the problem you were experiencing. It may help others reading this list, as installing greenstone with the local library is normally easy - but these things can catch you.

If it doesn't work even if you try to access 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' then my guess would be some firewalling software is preventing incoming connections (even from localhost) on port 80.
