The command 

comsol server matlab

does not work when not executed with root privileges.

This one works (Fedora 22) 

comsol server matlab -mlroot /opt/apps/matlab/default/ -graphics

The method described below works on the students PC pool (Fedora 22, 12. Aug. 2015).

Start Comsol server and Matlab 

comsol server
# /opt/apps/comsol/comsol51_teaching/bin/comsol server
matlab

In Matlab:

  1. Add the path of the Matlab Interface directory
  2. Connect to Comsol
  3. Import the libraries for setting up Comsol models
addpath('/opt/apps/comsol/comsol51_teaching/mli');
mphstart('localhost', 2036);
import com.comsol.model.*;
import com.comsol.model.util.*;

The Comsol teaching version is lacking some licence needed for connecting to a remote Comsol server.
