You must be blocking INPUT or OUTPUT to 127.0.0.1 somehow. I made this mistake when setting up my firewall rules. Be sure and have the following commands in your config (or enter them from a root shell) : # allow loopback iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT HTH, -D
