Hi,

I have just installed the beta 2 on my Fedora 8 host. Additionally, I have applied vmware-any-any-116. The latter was required to get vmware-config.pl running. Everything went fine with the notable exception of the vsock module, which could not be compiled. The port for remote connections is 904 and something is listening on that port.

     Unable to login to VI Web Access$ telnet localhost 904

    Trying 127.0.0.1...

    Connected to localhost.

    Escape character is '^]'.

    220 VMware Authentication Daemon Version 1.10: SSL Required, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC , VMXARGS supported

But when I try to login on the VI Web Access (http://127.0.0.1:8222/ui/#), then I receive the error message

    The server is not responding. Please check that the server is running and accepting connections.

I have inspected the servers log file, /var/log/vmware/hostd.log and found nothing special, apart from the following message:

        Unable to login to VI Web Access Proxy config filepath is /etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml

        Unable to login to VI Web Access Another process is listening on the proxy port.

        Unable to login to VI Web Access Please make sure other instances of hostd are not running

(The message appeared after running "/etc/init.d/vmware restart".)

Any suggestions what might be wrong or what further diagnosis could help?

Thanks,

Jochen
