I installed vCenter Server Appliance; changed the IP address given by DHCP to a static IP address. However, https://ip address of appliance :5480/
doesn't work.
I can ping the IP address, no firewall in between, I used IE and Firefox.
Make sure vmware web services are running,
Check logs for error during service starting C:\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\logs
Take a look here too

hope that helps
It's running Linux, not Windows ?
Did you start the web services?
login to the appliance, click on services tab.
start webservices client.
The cause of the problem was overlapping IP addresses 😉
additional questions:
is it correct that, if I enable Auto Deploy with vCenter Server Appliance, then
Auto Deploy appliance has same IP address as vCenter Server
Auto Deploy appliance repositary is on the vCenter Server host
Where should I run my Power CLI command ? on a Windows box ? (vCSA run on SUSE11)
To be specific:
Where / how can I enter "deploy-cmd's"
Auto-deploy doesn't appear as a VM; documentation says
....Auto Deploy is now configured and prompts you to log in as vi-admin. As vi-admin, you can add servers to Auto Deploy and run commands
from the Auto Deploy console......
