I’ve been searching the web for days, and think I’m going around in circles.
I have installed the VMWare 2.0 rpm. Patched the vmware-config.pl script. I have ran that script and successfully configured the app. I have enabled the vmware service in 2,3,5. I can successfully start/stop the vmware service and all services it calls.
I cannot access the web UI. I try http://127.0.0.1:8222/ui/ and there is no server there. Same thing with https on 8333.
If I try http on 902 I get a an authentication service header saying https is required. If I try https on 902 it hangs.
IMHO, server 2 is rubbish.
If you don’t need any of the features in it, stick with version 1.
You can still get it on VMware’s site.
In the event you need version 2, try downloading and installing the
…bundle instead. There were a number of problems with the .rpm and
in particular when installed on SuSE.
First, when it works you will be using port 8222.
You should be able to get a connection on port 8222 if not,
the service is not running for some reason. usual culprits
on this seem to be ipv6 and bodged up /etc/hosts file. If
one or the other has an issue, the service will appear to not
work even though it sort of is. Take a look at those two things
and see if you can get it going. I generally remove ipv6 at OS install
time so I won’t be able to help you if you need ipv6 support.
