As the VMware ESX download doesn't work

Hi,

Does somebody here know where I can download the VMWare ESX version 3.5 and the Virtual Center Server as the download Center doesn't work?

http://www.vmware.com/download/vi/

Thanks

That URL you have is correct, please try again. You'll need to sign up for a VMware account before the download page is presented to you once you click on the product you would like to download

The page works,

But when I try to download any product, specialy the ESX 3.5 or the Virtual Center, it doesn't work.

Please try to download and let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

Sounds like one of the akamai servers is misbehaving.

I also get errors here:

Download Center

Internal Error

The VMware download portal encountered an error while processing your request. We're sorry for the inconvenience. If you choose to report this error, please provide the following error information:

Error code: MK44

Error date: Tue May 19 06:19:09 PDT 2009

Err 4 user: Not logged in

Exception: JDBC exception on Hibernate data access; nested exception is org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Cannot open connection

I'll notify one of the vmware staff on this. Looks like you will have to wait until it is resolved.

You're correct, looks like there might be an outage on their download site, wondering if this has been reported yet.

As the error mentioned "user not logged in" specifically i managed to login to the store account in another way and tried again.

Similar error, so we really need to wait until it gets resolved....

I'm logged with my account.

I think, Is just a VMware Server issue.

I don't really know when it is going to be resolved.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. I just forwarded this thread to the team responsible for downloads. Is it still broken for you? Thanks, Robert

Hans,

Can you please open a new topic and give us the exact details on your problem?

Right now you are kicking a 2 year old thread back to live and your problem is very likely to be different in some details.

FWIW I just followed all steps and can download ESX3.5 Update 5 without any problem.

What are you trying to download? Are you using the webbrowser for download or the download manager?

Your location might be of interest as well, I'm in Asia.
