I thought I would give vmware server 2 beta a try.
Has anyone had any luck with that?
=== It seemed to install just fine, but when I try to access the user interface to create a new VM, etc. it is not working.
ie. I'm trying to access http://127.0.0.1 and entering my user login / password.
In /var/log/messages I'm seeing password accepted if I type the right password and rejected if I type the wrong one, but ...
From firefox I still get the access rejected status,
From konquerer (launched by typing "vmware") I am getting "page loaded" but just a blank screen otherwise.
Are they forcing you to use a web browser now for management?
That pretty much sucks. The prior tool was pretty fast and secure. Having a web interface just screams "hack me!"
I think you are indeed forced to admin it via a new web 2.0 interface. I'm still just using http, but they also have a https interface. I've seen a couple unusual dialog boxes pop up so I think they may have some extra security items included.
My immediate trouble is with the remote console. It is now a browser plug-in. I'm running FF3 beta 5 and the plug-in won't install.
I have not tried to trouble shoot that yet.
Worse than I thought. I can't even get the "remote console plug-in" to work with IE6 / WIn2K on a couple of different boxes. I'll try from an XP box next. What a pain.
Probably the Vmware forum would be the place to ask. This is a revolting development if it requires windows. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
