    Hi,

    is any differente uing inet_interfaces = all rather inet_interfaces = localhost, $myhostname?

    My server stop working, unable to connect remotely I just changed the inet configuration to all an is ok. The server was working fine until I moved my server to a new location and my ISP provide new IP addresses.

    Best regards,

    AL

    Probably the DNS record for $myhostname was still pointing to the old IP. I'd use inet_interfaces = all.
