Problems installing VMware View

[markus_herbert]

I try to evaluate vmware view 4.5. Up to now I have only experience with VSphere 4.1.

When I try to install VMware View Connection Server I get an error that the TCP Port 80 is already in use.

On this VM (W2008 R2) there is only VCenter 4.1 and View Composer 2.5 installed.

I found no role for IIS installed, so port 80 should be available.

Or should I install the View Connection Server on another VM?

Also I found nothing to administer the View Composer.

Maybe there is an howto to install View 4.5 the first time?

Thanks for any reply.

You should install the view connection server on a separate machine. It's not working because the web services of vcenter have already claimed that port.

If you want, you can still run it on the same VM, however you'll need to use a different port. As soon as you finish installing, you'll be able to configure it by using a browser: (if you use a different port would be something like ).

Forgot to mention documentation, have a look at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view45_installation_guide.pdf

To add to this slightly, we do not support the View Connection Server being installed on the same server as vCenter or any other View component. It must be on its own separate server.
