Hi everyone, I recently install VMware on a server using PAE kernel everything was great until I use vmware server everytime i'm connecting to the vmware server web interface after few seconds, the client loose server connection (server shows a loading page) I can't access to my VM till I log on the server run /etc/init.d/vmware restart I try to connect to the server again but connection still fails I try /etc/init.d/vmware stop /etc/init.d/vmware start then it respond me : Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor [FAIL] Virtual machine communication interface [ OK ] VM communication interface socket family: [FAIL] Virtual ethernet [FAIL] Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ OK ] I retry /etc/init.d/vmware start VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. I try /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl but it doesn't work until I reboot I do reboot but connection fails again and I have to do the same thing above. what should I do to make thing working. /All help greatly/ appreciated -- Cordialement, / Greetings, Georghy FUSCO

Are you running 2.0.2? I had the same problem as you when running < 2.0.2 2.0.2 has been fixed to work with CentOS 5.4 without that glibc trick on the CentOS bug tracker. I have so far not had any problems with my installation. Regards, Coert

After many searches, the best solution I found was running the extension outside the browser. I cannot remember exactly how I did it, but here is the result of a quick Google search: cd /tmp IP=the.esx.srv.ip # < fill in esx server ip address here wget --no-check-certificate https://$IP/ui/plugin/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi mv vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.zip cd ~ mkdir -p bin/vmwareconsole # make directory bin in your own homedir cd bin/vmwareconsole unzip /tmp/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.zip cd ~/bin ln -s vmwareconsole/plugins/vmware-vmrc . # make a symlink for easy access vmware-vmrc # run the console> I try to connect to the server again but connection still fails > I try /etc/init.d/vmware stop /etc/init.d/vmware start > then it respond me :<snip>> VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) > configured for the running kernel.
