I have installed Xindice 1.0 on a RedHat Linux server running Sun Java 1.3 installed via j2sdk-1_3_1_04-linux-i586.rpm
......
as in the example, I receive no response - it just hangs.
You haven't mentioned whether or not you have ipchains or other firewall/port checking software installed?
I think RedHat comes with ipchains by default and it will block access to port 4080 resulting in the symptoms you describe.
Try ipchains -L as the root user to list what your ipchains rules are .....
