Hi,

Take a look at http://ict-freak.nl/2012/04/05/vcops-5-http-status-404/

to see if that helps

Many tx

[stealthdave]

Thanks, but that doesn't appear to be the problem. There is lots of space left on all drives on the servers associated with VCOPS.

Hi,

Noticed this thread related to a page 404 loading vCops (from about halfway on where the chap starts reporting a page 404)

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/345082

what about some more info

which UI is that (vsphere or custom)? What version do you have?
can you access admin UI - have you tried restarting the services from there?

have you checked log files.

[stealthdave]

The UI is vsphere

Version 5 (not sure of build number and cannot get in to check)

It's a windows box and cannot get into the UI, unless there is another way?

Tried the xml validator and all ok

[gradinka]

the administrative UI should be available at https://<IP>/admin

from there you can restart services, generate a disgonsotics bundle, etc.

[stealthdave]

I have always read in documentation that https://<IP>/admin should work, but it never has so I just pre-sumed we we're on a later version (5)

that no longer applied to.

That doesn't work:

type Status report

message /admin

description The requested resource (/admin) is not available.

You are using the vApp or the Windows install of vC Ops?

[stealthdave]

windows install

[jddias]

There is no Admin UI and no vSphere UI with the Windows install - that is only available with the vApp.
