Title: installing vmware server 2.0.2 on 7.5.1
Post by: SuperGrover on February 14, 2012, 03:40:06 PM: Hi all,

just this week I installed vmware server 1.0.6 without problems on my 7.5.1 installation according to THIS (http://wiki.contribs.org/Vmware) description

There is a newer version available, 2.0.2. Installation went fine, only after that I cannot access any of the console's or webpages. Did somebody already succesfully install 2.0.2 ??

IMHO you should think about virtualbox or to change the point of view: SME as a GUEST and not as a HOST

Think I will switch to SME8, but I would like to run it as a Virtual Machine first :lol:

That's promising! I'll give it another try on a VM of 7.5.1 in my actual 7.5.1 :D

Post by: christian on April 09, 2012, 02:52:30 AM: I too have been running 2.0.2 for ages on 7.x. No issues at all. I now also run it on 8.x where I find the performance is not quite as good though it runs correctly. I will be looking to move to ESXi at some point in the near future.
