hu ? what did you expect more than a white page when connecting to the xmlrpc interface of hellanzb ?
As far as I know, hellahella is not part of hellanzb, and its not even released.  The instructions you're showing me only explains how to setup hellahella if you want to do it yourself

I thought a webinterface was included, so well I expected it to show something. Did a search on gentoo forums on pros/cons and one of the pros of hellanzb was a webinterface and the other half asked questions about that they couldn't get it to work. So anyways is it possible to change this bug to an enhancement and include a USE flag for hellahella, maybe masked though as it's in development and it would clear up some confusion? :)

And yes it's only instuctions on howto do it yourself as I thought an earlier version was in the ebuild.

well, it'll probably have to get its own ebuild if its distributed as a separated package, and I'm not sure how an ebuild for it should be. If you want to try yourself at ebuild writing, feel free ;) and please open a new bug for a new package and make sure to cc me there.
