That's not right! Use either one of

   Listen *:631

or

   Port 631

(but not both), they're equivalent. The "Listen" directive requires 
a colon before the port, and another "something" before the colon.
Examples:

   Listen  *:631
   Listen  localhost:631
   Listen  127.0.0.1:631
   Listen  10.162.*:631

You can have multiple "Listen" lines (as long as their content does
not overlap), but only 1 "Port" line without any additional "Listen"
(if you use "Port" at all).


[Not sure if "Listen" is tolerant to your way of writing the line --
it certainly is against the documentation. Also not sure if that 
config error could be causing your admin.cgi crash...]

Cheers,
