I am no expert on either VMWare or Fedora. I am just trying to learn more about both. Love these howto: as they walk you through all the steps. I have gotten to to the part that I should be able to see the VMWare console through a web browser, but I can't. I type http:localhost:8222 and the page says "VMware Server 2" but nothing loads. After running sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl and answering the questions I got the starting VMware services and everything says OK. Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor [ OK ] Virtual machine communication interface [ OK ] Virtual ethernet [ OK ] Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ OK ] Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) [ OK ] DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 [ OK ] Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) [ OK ] DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 [ OK ] NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 [ OK ] VMware Server Authentication Daemon (background) [ OK ] Shared Memory Available [ OK ] Starting VMware management services: VMware Server Host Agent (background) [ OK ] VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access Starting VMware autostart virtual machines: Virtual machines [ OK ] I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this. Any one got any suggestions?
typo I am trying http://localhost:8222 and https://localhost:8333. It was a typo in my original post. When I do either of them, at the bottom of firefox it reads "Waiting for localhost...". That never seems to go away. It is not timing out or doing anything. What could I check to see if I have the VM Ware server running? I have checked System Monitor and I don't see any process with VMWare in the name. What should I be looking for? When I try to connect to the server with a web browser from another machine, both ie and chrome time out and do not connect. I get the same result with http and https.
next? Reboots only work for Windows. I did reboot just in case and there is not much difference. When I went to https://127.0.0.1:8333 I got the certificate warning. I accepted the exception and the web page loads the Title and a blank page. Normally when I run into these problems, I reload the box and start over. I usually figure I missed something and it is hard to start over. Is that where I am now? I guess tomorrow I will reload Fedora and start over. I am sure I screwed this up somehow. These HowTos are usually very good and complete.
What's the output of Code: ls /etc/init.d/ ? I guess you need to call a VMware init script to start the service.
too late reloading Fedora now. I have it up and running and am starting the patches. Then I will start the howto over again. If I run into the same problem again I will post.
VMWare Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 Hello, I have a serious problem to bring up VMWare working. I install using documentation from: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-on-a-fedora-14-desktop-kernel-2.6.35 Every thing looks OK, but when start compiling module vmci.o done with error. OK i found patch in internet from http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1569245-40825/vsock-2.6.35.diff And of course vmware-config.pl configure and compile everything OK. When restarting service vmware everything looks OK. When trying to connect in localhost with http://127.0.0.1:8222/ui/# in browser come login prompt. Entering username and passwor and freezing for a long time and tells me that server not responding. In error log i can't found nothing as error message. When trying to reset the service again the script display and until i manually kill vmware-hosd the start/stop script /etc/init.d/vmware friezed. So any suggestion if any see something like that. The machine is intel i7 with 16 G of Ram and installed Fedora Desktop 14 x64 Thanks
Stuck at "sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" I have followed all steps until "sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" it keeps saying "sudo: vmware-config.pl: command not found".
