Safari can’t connect to the server.

Hi,
I’m new to Joomla, I installed yesterday using Bitnami and all was well, I got started on my website.
However, after re-starting my machine this morn (I’m running Mac OS X 10.5.6 on a G4 Powerbook) and try and open my Joomla website I get the following message:

Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.0.2:8080/joomla/” because it could not connect to the server “192.168.0.2”.

I’d really appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.
I’m not an expert in code language/php etc so simple instructions needed please.
Thanks.

Hi,

You should start the servers before accessing Joomla. Open a Terminal and try the following:

$ cd /Applications/joomla-(version)
$ ./ctlscript.sh start

Then you can access your joomla site. Cheers.

Hi, Had the same ‘problem’. suggestion was workin gout well! thanks

Hi again,

It appears that after restart the terminal commands must be entered again.

Would there be a way to automatically start these cammands.

I have just started to use my first Apple MBP so I appreciate any help

Hi,

You may install it as a service so it is started each time the machine is started. You can find more information in this article.
Let us know if you find any issues.

Regards

When I try Beltran’s suggestion, the terminal tells me,

Last login: Wed Apr 29 10:45:28 on console
mac-users-powerbook-g4-15:~ macuser$ $ cd /Applications/joomla-(version)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(’
mac-users-powerbook-g4-15:~ macuser$ $ ./ctlscript.sh start
-bash: $: command not found
mac-users-powerbook-g4-15:~ macuser$

And I don’t get it. Now what?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please do not write “$” in the terminal and substitute (version) to the version that you have installed. You can show it with the command “ls”.
