Hi All,
I've just installed a windows 2008 SP2 64bit server running SQL 2008 SP1
I've run the 'vcops_sqlserver_10.exe' to create the vcops10 db and then run the 'VMware-vCOps-1.0.exe' install.
This installed without errors and the 'test' connection to the DB worked.
I used the default port 80 and confirmed all the services are running.
However when using a local IE session to connect to http://localhost I get page not found.
I've tried connecting via another machine using it's IP address but still same error.
Can anyone assist?
Another obvious question, but you don't have IIS (or anything else) running on this server using port 80 do you? If you run a netstat -ano | find ":80" what process is using port 80?
Hello and welcome to the forums.
Have you seen this discussion? It might help.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the response.
I read that post originally and was hopeful, however it is referring to the Linux appliance and a hosts.allow file. Neither of these are unfortunately applicable as I'm attempting a windows setup.
I have checked my name resolution and all appears to be good.
So i'm still stuck.......
If DNS is good, then the other obvious thing would be to make sure the Windows firewall is not in the way. Also, have you tried https instead of http? Are there any proxy servers in the way? What web browser are you using?
Firewall is off, IE ESC is disabled and there is no proxy or firewall in the way and my browser is running locally on the same box as vcops enterprise and not configured to use a proxy. vcops is configured for http port 80 so https will not work and the browser is IE8. I've also checked event viewer and that is clean.
Can you think of anything else?
Just off to look for vcops log files.....
not sure if this is significant but the \tomcat\logs\catalina file reports the following:
2011-06-06 07:37:53,082 [Thread-2] ERROR org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol- Error initializing endpoint
java.lang.Exception: Socket bind failed: [730013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

Good one. No to IIS but yes to SQL Reporting Services. Removed that bad boy , restarted the vcops services and now java is listening on 80.
Many thanks for your help troubleshooting this. Your time is appreciated.
No problem - glad to hear you got it sorted!
