This was quite helpful ... First it helped me see that, while
/etc/default/fusioninventory had daemon mode enabled, the actual agent.cfg
had daemon = 0, and seemed to take precendence to the /etc/default setting.

I changed daemon mode to 1 in agent.cfg, and then ran your suggested debug
command again, and discovered that it was all down to a missing perl module
(Text::Template)

 Fixed that, and the http server is now being fired up ..

Your other suggestion to try connecting to the port was moot because I
could see via lsof that no http process was being fired up ..

Thanks for your kind suggestions .. best regards.
