enabling server-manager from ssh
« on: June 18, 2008, 08:16:39 AM »
Hello everyone,


can someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction? I have an SSH connection to the SME server, but when I try to connect to *my ip*/server-manager   I get a forbidden access error. Is it just not enabled for WAN remote management for the web interface? If so, is there a quick command I can enter into the bash prompt to get the access level changed?

MUCH thanks to anyone who can help me out

Hi

configure a ssh tunnel, so you can open a browser and go..

if you use putty as ssh client, look for tunnelling

HTH

nevermind that last post - figured that part out. Ok, so I can tunnel port 80 to the server...but when I try *my server*/server-manager    it times out. Is there another port I should be forwarding too?

With the tunnel up, did you try..

https://localhost/server-manager

?

Oh, and tunnel port 443.

William

IF I give advise.. It's only if it was me....
