VMWare Install Issue

Post by ljjoey »

I am attempting to figure out if nagios XI will work for our needs. I
am having problems installing the vmware version.

I ran through the tutorials and did what it said. However, when I get
to the last tutorial, says to put the ip in the browser and bring up
the home page. It fails to connect to the ip address. I can ping the
ip address from the same box. Is there something I am missing?

Perhaps the apache service didn't start. If you login to the virtual machine, use the following command to check the status:

/etc/init.d/httpd status

If its stopped, use this command to start apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

While you're logged in, verify the ip address of the virtual machine with this command:

ifconfig

Hope that helps.

I checked, Apache is running. The IP is correct.

Any other suggestions?

Actually when I said in my original post that it did not connect, that is only partiall true. It never brings up the page. However, ti does make a connection. It just sits and waits for a response. The response never comes, so, it eventually times out.

What happens after you restart apache?

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

The same timeout occurs.

I did notice that I get one failure on startup. However after googleing it, it did not seem like it would impact this. But Maybe I am incorrect.

This should be irrelevant.

I'm wondering about your 10.xxx address, where does that come from? Is it perhaps a user-space network emulation?

This is weird, I can't access it from the same machine the vm is running on, but others can access it from their machines. So it is working, I just can't do anything with it. I am able to rdp to another machine and then come back to my machine in a browser and it works. It just won't hook up with the VM from a browser running local on my machine.

I've seen this issue on VMware Workstation before.

I had Windows Vista x64 as the Host OS and running a Guest VM of Windows XP. And I could not connect the two via networking when using the Bridged networking (VMnet0). I had to do some double hopping to transfer some files around.

I did discover that if I changed the network port on the Guest VM to connect to Host-only (VMnet1) and obtained a new IP address on the XP machine I was then able to talk to the Vista machine (because the Vista machine has a virtual nic in the Host-only environment).

I never got around to finding out how to make the Host OS and the Guest VM talk to each other.
