After installed ESX3.5, by web (http://10.1.1.201/), can't not connet to ESX3.5 for VIC installation.
this IP address can be pinged.
Did service mgmt-vmware status, got " vmware-hosted (pid 1380) is running..."
But, did http://10.1.1.201 got "Network Access Message: The page cannot be displayed"
Why?
How can't I correct it?
Thanks!

Hi, vpxa is a process for Virtual Center Agent.
If you don't have a Virtual Center, you will not have the vpxa service, or files
Could be a firewall or Internet Explorer setting issue.
Try using the FQDN or adding http://10.1.1.201 and https://10.1.1.201 to your "Trust Sites" list.

Hi,
Probably you have a problem in etc/hosts file.
Check this KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100166...
Good luck!
thank for your response. I fowolled what you said here and some instructions following, but, the problem is still here.
Followed Restarting the Management agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490).
Did service vmware-vpxa restart.
Got vmware-vpxa: unrecognized service
Followed Troubleshooting the VirtualCenter Agent Service when it will not start (1006128).
Did rpm -V VMware-vpxa
got pachage vmware-vpxa is not installed
Followed Troubleshooting the VirtualCenter Agent Service when it will not start (1006128).
Did cd /var/log/vmware/vpxa
Got –bash: cd: /var/log/vmware/vpxa: no such file or directory
Then I checked the directory, unable to find vpxa under vmware
Another problem is when the server boot, there was one error message on the monitor:
ipmi- was unable to find a system interace(s)
Hi,
In the ESX console, try the following:
If the problem persists, edit the hosts
file.
From the ESX console type: vi /etc/hosts
Press Enter.
From the editor, press i .
Modify the file to resemble the
following sample:
# Do
not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require
network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1
localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.100 hostname.domain.com
hostname
Press ESC.
Type wq! Press Enter.
Type service vmware-webAccess restart . Press Enter.
thank for your response.
like I said before, I did it on host file. Now, there is no vmware-vpxa. I guess it need to reinstall. How?
after change the hosts file, try reseting the host
Sorry, how can I reset the host?
In the ESX console, type reboot, or shutdown -r
reset security on IE and host file yesterday. reboot, tried http and https, same problem
just now, reboot and same problem.
thanks!
Reading your posts I saw you were looking for the vpxa*.log files.
I don't have a system that I can access at the moment, however these files should be found in folder /var/log/vmware/vpx (not vpxa)
Also please run a df -h to make sure it's not a full file system preventing the system to start correctly.

can't find folder vpx or vpxa under folder vmware.
in vmware, there were only some files not any directories.
Used df -h, the hard disk size was enought.
thanks
