I had installed the vmware server ( VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386 ) on my CentOS 5 box how ever i am not able to to find the command vmware-server-console . Do i need to install that RPM separately . Thanks -- Regards Agnello D'souza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It boils down to a plugin that runs in Firefox and only on Linux +Windows. It's slow as a snail. Rainer

Do i need to install that RPM separately .The 2.x server doesn't have a separate console program like the 1.x series did - remote access is browser-based. Connect via http on port 8882 or https on 8883. But, there are problems with the glibc library in RHEL/CentOS5 updates that may not be resolved yet. Do you even have the server running? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Do i need to install that RPM separately .The console app is a Firefox plugin, but I extract the app and run it separately and find that solution (hack?) much better. From memory, here is how you do that: 1. Get a copy of vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi (mine was in /usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/ui/plugin/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi) 2. Rename the file to vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi.zip 3. Unzip the file Now run vmware-vmrc or pass some info like capitalized below: vmware-vmrc -h HOST:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD -- Sincerely, John Thomas
