Server running but cannot access console!

[baconismidog]

Greetings,

I have abyss running on libranet 2.8.1. I can see the "success" webpage in the htdocs from other computers on my network by typing the ip address:80 but when I try to access http://127.0.0.1:9999 from the server box or http://localhost:80 from the other local computer that gets the "success" page I get nothing. No console.

I have played with the local port number (9999) and changed it to 600 and 821 and 11 etc and nothing works. I have also typed in my computers static ip address:port.

The browser pointed at the console will just hang forever but return no error UNTIL i go into the processes and kill the abyss tree. Then, immediately, the browsers (on multiple computers at the exact same second) will give the alert : document contains no data. This is telling me that it is doing SOMETHING, and that the browsers are hearing the console and they just cant show it. I am looking from firefox, galleon, mozilla, netscape, opera, and konqueror just to be sure that it is not the software.

Any help is appreciated.
Bac


EDIT:::
The problem was a permission problem. I am a Linux noob and it seems that even though the server was running as a root process, it was unable to broadcast as "root". As soon as I logged out from root and into my user level account and then ran abyssws everything was fine. Hope this helps some other noob!!


PS
Thanks aprelium

You Can Also (if admin panel is denying you remote access) go into

Console Config->Ip Address Control->Add->and type In '*' (without quotes) as a wildcard
