I finally got a motherboard working with ESXi, Great . The Asus Crosshair, that I used before, couldnt handle heavy load, resulting in a disconnection of the datastore.
Now I encountered a new problem.
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Server as guest (tried 8.04 also,same problem)
and I installed the LAMP server. I want to use the guest as a torrent
client, so some of my friends can take avantage of my bandwith through
the webserver. For this I installed Torrentflux on the guest.
Torrentflux is a bittorrent php client that makes users able to add and
controls torrents via a web server. It works great without vmware
tools, but vmware tools adds a faster NIC. When I install vmware tools,
I cannot open the the index.php file anymore. Instead firefox ask me
where I want to save index.php. This happens with any .php file on the
site.
To install vmware tools I followed several guides, but with the same result :
My motherboard is Asus M2NPV-VM
Onboard sata controller MCP-51
Network adaptor Intel Pro 1000 GT
Whats very strange is, with my other motherboard (Asus Crosshair, the
one that couldnt handle heavy load) I did not run into this problem. It
had Nvidia network controllers onboard, and vmware tools worked
perfectly.
Is there anyone who have any idea of what is wrong with my config ?
Thanks in advance
Jaev

Hello,
Try using the Merged Tools as one option. But the installation of tools should not affect firefox. It sounds like PHP needs to be reconfigured within the VM. It sounds like it can not serve up PHP pages anymore. I would review your php config.
