Linux – VMware Server 2.0.2 and Firefox 3.6 RC1

linuxvmware-server

it seems that VMware Server 2.0.2 and Firefox 3.6 RC1 don't like each other.

I have a reproducible problem on different networks, each with same software configuration (FF3.6 RC1 and VMware Server 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS 64bit).

The login screen doesn't show up and the Firefox remarks and non loadable page. It cannot load the page at all. The redirect is done (from http://:8222 to https://:8333 )

Maybe someone can help?

Disable use TLS v1 on the encryption tab of the advanced section of preferences. Under the network tab of the advanced section, change the size of the cache from 50mb to 0. Now refresh the login page. Keep refreshing it until the login shows up - sometimes it just doesn't load, but repeatedly refreshing gets it to load eventually. I held down f5 at one point in chrome and it refreshed 20 or so times then popped up the login.

If you can find this file :

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Server\tomcat\webapps\ui\jslib-1.0.128374\modules\com.vmware.webaccess.app_1.0.0\WebAccess.properties

...edit it, and find the following lines (near the end of the file)

new Object({
   login_url: "http://localhost:8222/sdk",
   login_show_webservice_url: "false",
   login_name: "",
   login_password: ""
});

...and add your username and password - e.g. (username being myDomain\testUser, and password being P@ssword1)

new Object({
   login_url: "http://localhost:8222/sdk",
   login_show_webservice_url: "false",
   login_name: "myDomain\\testUser",
   login_password: "P@ssword1"
});

Note the double backslash...

HTH .. Ken

EDIT: Hmmm it seem like this may only work with IE (doesn't seem to work in FF3.5)

Ubuntu – Very poor guest performance in VMware Server 2

This probably isn't what you want to hear but...

Forget about VMware Server and install ESXi. It's free, and you'll be guaranteed to experience much greater performance over VMware Server.
