title: Neo4j Remote Access Issues
body: <p>I'm encountering issues regarding a new installation of Neo4j on Ubuntu 12.04; the server starts fine, without any major errors listed (start-up text posted below), but I cannot access the webadmin remotely, even with the line "org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0" uncommented. Chrome simply times out (error message "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to twofish.cs.unc.edu:7474") when I attempt to connect. There have been a couple other questions on SO that listed similar issues, but the solutions have just been "it fixed itself at some point."</p>
  
  <p>So far, I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- uncommenting and recommenting that line in the server config file, with stopping and starting the server in between each change.
  - restarting the entire Ubuntu server.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The start-up message for Neo4j is as follows:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>twofish(66)% sudo service neo4j-service start</p>
    
    <p>WARNING: Max 1024 open files allowed, minimum of 40 000 recommended. See the Neo4j manual.
    Using additional JVM arguments:  -server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dorg.neo4j.server.properties=conf/neo4j-server.properties -Djava.util.logging.config.file=conf/logging.properties ->Dlog4j.configuration=file:conf/log4j.properties -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC ->XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled</p>
    
    <p>Starting Neo4j Server...WARNING: not changing user
    process [3505]... waiting for server to be ready.... OK.</p>
    
    <p><code>http://localhost:7474/ is ready.</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've also put the entire config folder up in a folder on drive: <a href="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bx98DkxmHnEtLXloTDJwSUdyLTg&amp;usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bx98DkxmHnEtLXloTDJwSUdyLTg&amp;usp=sharing</a></p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on what may be causing the issue?</p>
  
  <p>Update:
  Regarding firewall settings, I can't provide too much information because I'm not in charge of security for it. The machine is part of a university's CS department network and I'm fairly sure firewall settings are managed at the network level, by someone above my pay grade. We do we have an instance of Neo4j running (and accessible remotely) on another server within the department; however, I don't know whether its firewall configurations (or what firewall software the department is even using) is the same as the server I'm having issues with.</p>
  
  <p>Regarding connecting through localhost: I'm able to access the database with the neo4j-shell and running <code>"curl http://localhost:7474"</code> returns </p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "management" : "http://localhost:7474/db/manage/",
    "data" : "http://localhost:7474/db/data/"
  }t
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know if that means its accessible on the local machine or not though; I assume if curl isn't throwing an error, it is accessible from localhost...</p>
  
  <p>Update: <code>curl http://twofish.cs.unc.edu:7474</code> from a remote host returns <code>curl: (7) couldn't connect to host</code>, so apparently I can access through localhost, but not through a remote host.</p>
