Have you tried just pointing your browser to the ip/hostname of the WHD?

If you configured SSL, you might want to add the https: to the url.

Have you made any changes to the whd.conf file, that might be altering your access?

tried that it doesn't work still.

Maybe you can help with an example of what the address should look like, or how you have done it

Nickospot,

We have ours as a virtual appliance, so we just installed, set up the IP address(es) and started using it.

The URL for ours is http://<helpdesk hostname>/helpdesk/ (or http://<helpdesk hostname> - both work) and that takes you to the login prompt.

Is your installed on Windows, Linux or a virtual appliance?

Can you use 'netstat -nob' on Windows or 'netstat -latn' on Linux (other syntaxes are available) to see what port are open?

Is the webheldesk running - check for webhelpdesk strings in Java processes?

Worse case point a port scanner (ZenMap) at your host, which ports are open?
