Hmmmm.
When I reach an impasse, I usually run sudo-apt-get update and sudo apt-get
upgrade in the
console on general principles. Not a universal solution, but it sometimes
fixes something
that only an expert (not me) would find. I suggest this because WebHTTrack
may need some
files that weren't in the standard version of the installation. I do this
anyway after every
run of Software Updater.
Have you ever started the browser first, before starting WebHTTrack ?
Make sure that the hostname that WebHTTrack is trying to use ("bishop:8080")
is the same
as the one that you see when in Terminal mode, if not, find out why this
could be so.
Make sure that the browser that WebHTTrack wants to use is actually installed
on your
system and that it is the same version as WebHTTrack's preferred browser.
Also, before you start WebHTTrack, navigate to the target website and make an
exact copy
of the URL from the address line of your browser, including the http:// and
checking for
its use of www or not in the URL. Then make sure there aren't any spaces or
forbidden
characters in that URL.
Make sure that your Port 8080 is not blocked, either at your router,
somewhere in your
operating system, or in the browser. There are plenty of threads on the
subject of open
ports on the 'Net, and you should use the suggestions in the linux-based
pages to find
out whether your Port 8080 is available. This will be a software issue, not
hardware,
because these ports are programmed in the motherboard and not actual physical
connections.
I got a lot of hits in Google on "closed port 8080 trisquel" (without the
quotes) and you
may find one or another helpful.
Wishing you better results ...
