Web interface neo4j embedded remote not working - neo4j

Question

I am running Neo4j in embedded mode on a remote Linux server... everything works well except the ability to connect to the web interface /host:7474/webadmin/

Can someone explain me what am I doing wrong? How can I monitor the web interface in that consultation?
Thanks

Did you follow the instructions here?
http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/server-embedded.html
I think the neo4j-server.properties are not used. The properties you pass in to the graphdatabase are used for the database only not for the web-ui / http-server on top of that.
I think you can pass them in to the WrappingNeoServerBootstrapper
Seems to be working with a Server-Configurator. There is a also a property-file based Server configurator PropertyFileConfigurator which is passed the neo4j-server.properties file as a File object in its constructor.
I think your maven config misses the static resources too.
