Have you read the readme and man page about this ?
"NEW: Since version 0.3.9b mutella provides built-in HTTP interface, which,

"HTTP-interface
==============
Since version 0.3.9b mutella provides built-in template-based HTTP
interface. The default location of the template files is
'/usr/local/share/mutella/remote/template/'.
The access to the remote interface is disabled by default in order to
ensure that high security and privacy traditionally provided by mutella
is maintained. To enable http-ui one has to:
1. Set remote username/password via 'RemotePass' and 'RemotePass' variables
2. Set 'RemoteEnable' to 'true'
3. Set 'AllowedRemoteNet' to something appropriate if http-ui is supposed
to be used from somewhere else. The default is 'localhost only' that is
'127.0.0.1/32'. To enable any IP to use the HTTP interface set
'AllowedRemoteNet' to '0.0.0.0/0'.
To connect to the http interface type 'http://localhost:6346/remote' in
your favourite browser (this implies that your client is listening on port
6346; check 'LocalPort' if this does not work).
TIP: if you set 'AllowedRemoteNet' to your private class-C subnet like
'192.168.1.0/24' it is important to realise that the 'localhost' is no
longer allowed to use the UI. The workaround is to use the host name instead
of the 'localhost' in the browther.
For troubleshooting is it helpfull to check HTTP access log file located at
'~/.mutella/htaccess.log' The logging facility may be switched off by setting
'RemoteLogAccess' to 'false'
NOTE: The template pages for the remote interface are installed to
/share/mutella/remote/template by default. The place where mutella
looks for the template is controlled by 'RemoteTemplatePath' variable.
This variable will point to the correct location if you have installed
mutella using 'make install' or as a binary package. Othervise you have to
adjust 'RemoteTemplatePath' to point ot the correct directory on your file
system. Mutella's built-in HTTP server does not allow '..' path elements and
does not build directory indexes for security reasons."
Do you have port 6346 open ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Anyone have this working? The documentation points to a template directory that is not created with the RPM install.
diregard this, see jdklusman's writeup
Yes thanks, remote web interface works fine.
ee, sorry, but i'm a newbie to linux. could you please explain it in a more idiotproof way?
