Problems with VMware Management Interface

[davidtere]

HI,

I've tried to configure the VMware Management Interface, but it gives me an error:


"Set the number of minutes before a http session times out. (This is the length
of time before someone connecting to VMware Management Interface will be logged
out) [60] 60

Generating SSL Server Certificate

Starting httpd.vmware:-ne failed "

Any help?
Thanks a lot,

Which error do you get when you try to start the vmware management interface with its start script in /etc/init.d ?

[davidtere]

david@david-desktop:/etc/init.d$ sudo ./httpd.vmware status
vmware.httpd is not running.
david@david-desktop:/etc/init.d$ sudo ./httpd.vmware start
Starting httpd.vmware:-ne failed

david@david-desktop:/etc/init.d$

Any help?

Maybe this helps you:

except:

The VMware Management Interface's startup scripts (/etc/init.d/httpd.vmware and /usr/lib/vmware-mui/src/lib/httpd.vmware) have a bug which makes the Apache server start fail after reboot. To fix the script apply the following patch.

# cd /tmp
# wget http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/httpd.vmware.diff
# cd /
# patch -b -p0 < /tmp/httpd.vmware.diff

I found the good one:
