I followed step by step the how-to for installing VMWare on Ubuntu. Everything went fine but there is a problem with the https://192.168.0.100:8333 Ofcourse my IP was 192.168.192.200 when I installed the VMWare and now I type https://192.168.192.200:8333 but it can't find anything. From the command-line I typed vmware and the VMWare Server Consoled appeared and seems to work fine. In the ifconfig's output I see vmnet1 192.168.78.1 and 172.16.246.1 . I tried these IPs but nothing. How can I solve the IP problem?
Thank you for your reply.

Port 8333 is not in use, so the VMware management interface isn't started. What's the output of Code: ls -l /etc/init.d ?

Ofcourse sudo vmware starts vmware with no problem (for now) But if I run netstat -tap I get the same output as before. As in the guide I ran the second script for VMWare MUI. I can see the /usr/lib/vmware-mui
There are the /var/log/vmware and /var/log/vmware-mui directories. Yesterday after the kernel update (2.6.15-27) , I rerun the config scripts to recompile the modules and it run! Today I have the same problem as before. In /var/log/vmware-mui/error_log I see the following -- that's the log for sudo /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware start and sudo /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware status [Wed Sep 20 11:50:27 2006] [warn] pid file /var/run/httpd.vmware.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?

When the httpd.vmware run I had created a directory, the /var/run/vmware/httpd because somewhere in the log files there was a "there is no such file or directory" The problem is that somehow this directory is erased . The solution is edit the /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware and immediately after "start)" add the following code: if [ ! -d /var/run/vmware/httpd ] then mkdir /var/run/vmware/httpd chown www-data:nogroup /var/run/vmware/httpd chmod 700 /var/run/vmware/httpd fi Found at: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=479166񴾾
