Your command-line invocation to start babeld seems correct (although I'm
not sure why you want to specify -p and -h). You should be able to check
that the local interface works correctly by using netcat:

  root at ocanku:~# nc ::1 33123
  BABEL 0.0
  add self ocanku id e2:46:9a:ff:fe:4e:92:09
  […]
  ^C

Once this is done, you also need to start an instance of babelweb on the
same machine.  Babelweb is a different piece of software, which will
connect to this local interface to get information from babeld and
provide a web visualisation.

To run babelweb, you need node.js. Install it as explained here:
  http://nodejs.org/

Then, use the npm package manager provided with node.js to install
babelweb, and start it:
  sudo npm install -g babelweb
  babelweb

You are done. Browse:
  http://localhost:8080/

More information about configuration is available in the README:
