Hi, Kenneth,

"Localhost" is an alias for the local host - your pc is a different host - you need to specify the server's ip - not your PC's ip?

Try 
http://[the unix server's real ip address]:8080 
from your pc (or any other machine on the same network) 

ifconfig 
from the unix machine's console will normally reveal the ip address you want - it's often the one assigned to eth0 although YMMV

To Galaxy,
I installed Galaxy on my local server..

I modified the universe_wsgi.ini file as follows:
# The address on which to listen.  By default, only listen to localhost (Galaxy
# will not be accessible over the network).  Use '0.0.0.0' to listen on all
# available network interfaces.
host = 0.0.0.0

I type the following command at the LINUX prompt to start the service
$ sh run.sh
...
Starting server in PID 2685
serving on 0.0.0.0:8080 view at http://127.0.0.1:800

When I open FIrefox directly on the server and go to the web address
http://localhost:8080
the galaxy screen appears.

When I open FIrefox on my PC and go to http://localhost:8080, I get
the following error
"Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server
at localhost:8080."

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
