The Dog House

Limitations

As The Dog House is still a bit experimental, the following limitations should be considered when using it:

• The Dog House works best with Google Chrome 8 or better, but has been shown to work well with Firefox 3.6.13.
• The Dog House is hard-coded to work against the default Rexster port of 8182. As a temporary fix, it is possible to point The Dog House at a different port by opening the server.js file, changing the value of the URI and rebuilding Rexster.
