Topic: problems with VMWARE 2 install on SME7

[Jáder]

I'm following wiki page   http://wiki.contribs.org/Vmware to install VMware 2 on SME7 (fully updated!)

After install I do not run signal-event (business hours) but was able to connect on vm ui.
A few minutes ago I run those signal-event commands and after reboot I was unable to connect vmware.

Some info for help you understand/diagnostic:

Code: [Select]

[root@marreco ~]# /etc/rc7.d/S91httpd.vmware restart

and finally a restart of service:

Code: [Select]

[root@marreco ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware restart

   Virtual ethernet                                        [FAILED]

I have choose do not use NAT.
This server is on server-only mode.

Thanks in advance by any idea/tip... I'm going to sleep because is late here.
Maybe tomorrow morning I'll see things more clear

Regards.

Are you sure you also installed the semserver-vmware contrib? This has been the problem for others in the past: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,42678.msg204429.html#msg204429

I have had the same problem ... what I did was install vmware on a freshly installed sme 7 then do the updates ... this works without problems.

I have had no time to try and work out what could cause this problem ... and not sure if I could figure it out as I do not have the expertise.

Regards,
