The PSKREPORTER site discusses fldigi, as well as other apps.

I just read the instructions on the pskreporter site (see following)
then opened fldigi on my computer and clicked on Configure - Misc -
Spotting then checked "[ ] Send reception report when logging a QSO"

There is a window below labeled "Host:" and inside the window it says:
"report.pskreporter.info" then another smaller window says "4739"

When I click "Initialize" it turns red and an error pops up saying
"Error: bad IARU locator".

The "Spot" icon on the upper right of the screen does not light up.

In Callsign DB I checked "[ ] QRZ online via default Internet Browser"

How do I resolve this, please?

Thanks! & 73, doc KD4E

fldigi 3.1 (a multiplatform digital mode program) now has builtin 
support for logging data to the pskreporter web site. This program is 
popular on Linux, and also, being multiplatform, they could not use the 
DLL that I provide for generating the logging messages. However, with 
only a small amount of help from me, they managed (in fairly short 
order) to build their own implementation of the message generator, and 
start racking up the spots.

To actually make it work in fldigi you need the information from this 
message.

Short answer: you want to click the Spot button in the main window.

Long answer: pressing initialize with the autospot box checked should 
reveal a Spot button at the top right cornet of the main window. If it 
is unlit, the autospotter receives no data and never calls the PSK 
Reporter module. This may seem superfluous, but the underlying spotting 
"framework" is supposed to be able to accommodate other things besides 
PSK reporter (none of which has yet materialised). The Spot button would 
then toggle all of that potentially expensive pattern matching.
