Dаrren Kitchen Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 The Web interface with the browser plugin for Vmware Server 2.0.2 on Windows 2008 sort of works in my LAN, but connecting to it from the Internet is a problem. You can start and stop VMs, but bringing up a VM's console does not work at all, with errors about having a bad password even though it worked fine for connecting in. I've tried installing the vSphere client, but to no avail, it want's to download support files from the server that are not there. Anyone know an alternative to the craptasic web interface for VMWare server 2.x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It's a pain in the face and is rather awkward but... you could setup remote access on each individual VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Use remote desktop/vnc and load the web interface from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dаrren Kitchen Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I got the remote web interface to work. I had forwarded 8333/tcp before, but I did not know I needed to forward 902/tcp till I put a sniffer on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I still don't think having web applications exposed to the world is a terribly good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Particularly since it's every one's favourite web server... tomcat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dаrren Kitchen Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Point taken, and I may just set it up so I have to VPN in.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimaj Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Back in the day, I was using the VIClient to access my VMWare Server. I belive I had to connect to Server_IP:WebPort with my login credentials. I'm not quite sure what's the difference between the viClient and vSphere Client is but try to also login using your vSphere Client but specify the web port (I believe it is 8333).

Thanks, but I've tried that with no luck. If anyone knows a link to download the old viclient please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
