Hello,

after endles clicking at google i couldn’t find any Documentation for the web interface of jbidwatcher. Is there any how to or how do i have to mange this. I am using a linux server whitch is up the whole day. So i want to run jbidwatcher there and add the auctions from different computers. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks Joe

1: enable the web interface

2: point web browser to http://whatever:9099

Hello Ericj,

thanks a lot. Now i found the checkbox to enable the “internal web server”. It runs fine.

Thanks Joe

Open the Configuration Dialog using the menu entry Windows / Configuration.
Select the Advanced tab and set/select the following keys to the relevant values:

server.enabled = true
server.port = 9099

Do not forget to click on the Save button.

You can use your Web Browser to go to the following URL for the Web Interface of the internal webserver:

http://localhost:9099/JBidwatcher

You can log in with your ebay username and password to the Internal Web Server.

Just for those curious enough, you could read up some more details on the old configuration options page about these settings.

• server.* JBidWatcher can act like an HTTP server, and serve up internal pages, showing the status of auctions, etc., over the web if you want. You’ll need to log into it when you connect remotely (it uses basic authentication, so don’t expect security from eavesdroppers), but then you can view your auctions and set and clear snipes.

• server.enabled=(true|false) If server.enabled is true, then JBidWatcher will act like an HTTP server, and allow serving up a page that shows all the auctions it’s monitoring, and allow you to browse them through the web. Defaults to false, no internal web server.

• server.port=#### What port number to listen on. Defaults to 9099.
