running neo4j from a remote machine

Question

I have installed and run neo4j 3.3.2 on a Linux machine.

I'm trying to access the console from a remote windows machine from the same network.

I have changed some configs in conf/neo4j-conf like this :

dbms.connectors.default_listen_address=0.0.0.0 dbms.connector.bolt.listen_address=0.0.0.0:7687 dbms.connector.http.listen_address=0.0.0.0:7474 dbms.connector.https.listen_address=0.0.0.0:7473

I can now access the browser remotely but I have an error while trying to login:

[![WebSocket connection failure. 
Due to security constraints in your web browser, the reason for the failure is not available to this Neo4j Driver. 
Please use your browsers development console to determine the root cause of the failure. 
Common reasons include the database being unavailable, using the wrong connection URL or temporary network problems. 
If you have enabled encryption, ensure your browser is configured to trust the certificate Neo4j is configured to use. WebSocket `readyState` is: 3"]]

What do you mean by accessing the console ? Is it the browser, cypher-shell or something else ? — logisima
yes I meant the browser.I have made progress. I have deactivated the "AlwaysPreTouch" option and all the ones below it. Now I have access to the console but with a problem loggin in. I have updated my original post. — ErEcTuS

You should take a look at the bolt url : bolt://0.0.0.0:7687

This not a valid IP address, you should replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP address of your server.

I suppose that you have also change the value of dbms.connectors.default_advertised_address in the configuration with 0.0.0.0 no ?

# The address at which this server can be reached by its clients. This may be the server's IP address or DNS name, or # it may be the address of a reverse proxy which sits in front of the server. This setting may be overridden for # individual connectors below. dbms.connectors.default_advertised_address={PUT HERE YOUR SERVER's IP}
