Hi,
We download the ESX Server 3.0.2 one month evaluation including a license tu test it before maybe buy it, but we're not able to do anything since we installed it. In fact, I installed it for the third time yesterday, hoping that I made a mistake in the previous installation. Oviously, i got the same result, Web service unavailable.
Before I make the decision to post a thread, I made so much search on google about my problems, most of the time i've been foward to this vmware forum. And to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed of the product i evaluate. At the first install, i follow exactly the procedure about install and configuration. Technically, when i saw this message on my server i was sure i could began manage it..
To manage this ESX server, use any browser to open the URL :
mean port 80
root@ESX-SERVER root# netstat -l --numeric-ports
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State

tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:32810 : LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:8080 : LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:22 : LISTEN

Is someone see something about port 80 ? nah !!!!! i can get a page from this link that is very different than what it should be, but I'm unable to log to web access (Web service unavailable.) that is up and running. Before that i needed to allow incomming and outgoing connection on the vmware firewall. What the other option to manage my server... using the virtual infrastructure client that is supposed to use port 902 that is listening. No more success, it says CONNECTION FAILED. Lets see which services are running... thats the default.

When i tray connecting with VI client, the server establish the connection.. i saw it via netstat - n, but always connection failed.
And what about the license they gave me... what I'm supposed to do with it.
So i wish someone could help me get throught this damn web access.
Thanks in advance
