Title: How do i get to the GUI of SME server
Post by: barry cisna on December 11, 2002, 04:27:26 AM

HI ALL, Just done my first install of SME sever 5.5. How do i get to the GUI, rather than the "console mode" of SME server? I know I am "green at this new system"? Is it possible the video card AGP, is not SME compatable. NVIDIA to be exact. Thnkas for any responses..

Barry,

There is no GUI on SME. All config is done through either console/ssh or through the server manager interface (https://yourhost.yourdomain.com/server-manager).

RTFM & HTH.

RTFM..... Point a local browser at the ip of the server.

Barry, here's the link to the documentation at Mitel
 http://edocs.mitel.com/6000_SME_Server/smeserveruserguide/English/index.html
 
This will give you the specifics of using a browser on one of your client machines to access the server-manager application which will give you the GUI you are looking for.
 
regards and hope this helps,
Mike

G'day Barry,

When you set up the SME box you will have given it a static IP. In my case it was a pretty standard 192.168.1.1.  Point a browser at http://192.168.1.1:980/ and you should have no probs.  The SME web interface has been configured to serve on port 980.  If you leave that bit out you will get the SME box's default webpage.

Good luck,
Andrew.

you could also use http://192.168.1.1/server-manager  if you prefer that to the port 980.

And remember if you are in a network with plenty of users(untrusted),
its safer to use httpS://192.168.1.1/server-manager (HTTPS).

Using  http://192.168.1.1/server-manager    allows malicious users
to sniff your/users passwords.
