'How to connect to neo4j on remote server using cytoscape neo4j plugin

I installed cytoscape 3.8.2 and Cytoscape Neo4j Plugin (http://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/cytoscapeneo4jplugin). I've generated a small neo4j graph, which is situated on a remote server.

When trying to connect to neo4j using the plugin I get following error: "Cannot connect to neo4j"

What am I doing wrong? Is it not possible to connect to neo4j when the instance is situated on a remote server?



Solution 1:[1]

It certainly should work, but since Neo4J uses it's own port, which isn't opened by default on most hosts, you may need to tweak your server firewall.
