[cups.general] Remote Access to Web Interface

i'm running ubuntu server 8.04. i just installed CUPS and i am trying
to access the web interface from another computer (on the same subnet)
because i don't have a gui installed on the server to use the web
interface locally.

my problem is that i can't seem to access the admin section. when i
click on the 'Administration' tab, i'm prompted for a username and
password into which i type root and its password. then all i get is a
white screen (nothing loads). when i check /var/log/cups/error_log
logs i get the following line:

cupsdCloseClient: SSL shutdown successful!

to me it looks like SSL is shutting down when i try to login. why its
doing that i have no idea.

anyone help me???

here is my cupsd.conf:

SystemGroup lpadmin

LogLevel info
Port 631
Browsing On
BrowseAddress 192.168.3.255

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.3.0/24
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.3.0/24
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

THANKS
