Ah, ok. You've got your gopher hostname set incorrectly - it's the -h parameter in the config file /etc/sysconfig/gophernicus and it must point to a working hostname or as you noticed only the root menu works.

CC:I have the same basic site set up on two servers. The first server located on a CentOS 7 server works fine.The second to which I am migrating to displays the files but will not download them. When a file is selected, I get a Connecting to... displayed in the Firefox message bar at the bottom. It ultimately times out. Essentially the same behavior via lynx.The sites address is: gopher://faroutscience.comI appreciate your help!v/rJeffOn Fri, Sep 1, 2017 at 1:21 PM, Kim Holviala <kim@holviala.com> wrote:Howdy,
You can view the the site but you cannot connect? Could you explain exactly what works and what doesnt - and explain like I was 5 years old (I'm actually 7!!!)
And this was the right place - but if it gets too specific you can email me directly (I'm the author of Gophernicus).
