I am testing VMWare Workstation on a headless CentOS 6.1. I used:
# sh <package> --custom --console
to install and AFAICT it all worked. I designated the Workstation Server port to be 8443 instead of the default 443.
When I try to visit the web interface in chrome with URL http://1.2.3.4:8443 chrome reports "No data received" and /var/log/vmware/hostd.log records:
2013-11-15T23:39:54.421-05:00 [7F597D5DC720 warning 'Proxysvc'] SSL Handshake failed for stream <SSL(<io_obj p:0x00007f5970000c50, h:42, <TCP '1.2.3.4:8443'>, <TCP '1.2.3.5:50010'>>)>: N7Vmacore3Ssl12SSLExceptionE(SSL Exception: error:140000DB:SSL routines:SSL routines:short read)
Why is this failing?
Do I need to install another package or configure a certificate or something?
Is there something about any of this in the "VMware Workstation 10 Documentation Center"?

Can VMware Workstation run on Linux without X windows?
With VMware server you can use a conventional browser to access the host and setup new VMs. I get the feeling this is actually not possible with VMware Workstation?
So I have to install Linux with X windows?
Hi
Welcome to the communities.
If you are getting error about that component then please install and proceed without waiting more.
These alarms occur even if the host is working correctly.
To work around this issue, increase the value of handshakeTimeoutMs:
