Web interface on Linux (no GUI)

[mkretz]

Hi,

I'm currently testing PowerFolder and installed it on a linux machine (Debian). The service runs, but I can't connect to the web interface. 'netstat -an' shows, that nothing is listening on port 80.

Am I doing something wrong?

Dear mkretz
Did you setup the webinterface with dyndns or do you have an fixed ip?
otherwise you will be only able to access it under http://localhost.

rutkowsky,

the machine gets a dynamic ip address, though the dhcp server always leases the same ip address. I just downloaded the PowerFolder.jar und put it into ~/powerfolder together with the start/stop-script and the license file. Is there anything else I have to do to setup the webinterface?

Ah you are using Linux without a GUI?

Please see the configuration and the suppoints 1./2./3.
you need to go to preferences/pro_settings/webinterface and enter your data there

Who needs a GUI with Linux??? ;-)
That steps seem to be quite tricky. I'll have a try ... Thanks for your help!

Ásk the ubuntu users:D its so much easier to use open office with an gui

Its tricky if you have no gui computer at all:
But you can do that steps on a mac(if you can see hidden files) or a windows computer simply make it work set it ip like you want and copy the config.
