> Hi everyone, I recently install VMware on a server using PAE kernel Running 3 similar systems here, 2 production, one testing > 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 have this problem too sometimes, particular with the Firefox extension installed. 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.
