			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been working with VMware Server version 2.0 and I got surprised with the new web access interface that reminded me the web interface of Microsoft Virtual Server (a very nice interface in my opinion); but I had the great idea to upgrade my VMware Server to version 2.0.1 and problems began&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t able to access the shiny VMware Web Access <img src='http://www.jams.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My first workaround was to access the VMWare Web Access page locally in my virtual machines&#8217; server (because using <em>localhost</em> I always was able to use that feature); but It was a problem having to log-in remotely to the server every time  I wanted to manage the virtual machines; so after some <em>googling</em> I found another fix for my problem, not the best one but I don&#8217;t have to connect to the server all times.</p>
<p>Here is the solution:</p>
<ol>
<li>Edit your <a title="Host file path in various operating systems" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file" target="_blank"><em>HOST</em>S file</a> and add explicitly the IP address and URL of you server, for example:
<pre>127.0.0.1       localhost #this is always by default
209.191.93.52   your.virtualserver.com</pre>
</li>
<li>Restart you computer (Maybe it is not necessary, but this is how computers work <img src='http://www.jams.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> )</li>
<li>Open your Web browser (I use <a title="Get Firefox" href="http://www.firefox.com" target="_blank">Firefox</a>) and enter the following URL:
<pre>https://your.virtualserver.com:8333/ui<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>/#</strong></span></pre>
<p>Put special attention to the<span style="color: #ff0000;"> <strong>/#</strong></span>&#8230;despite it sounds crasy, it works!!!&#8230; I&#8217;m read that <a title="Issue explanation in VMWare Community" href="http://communities.vmware.com/thread/177127;jsessionid=9E24FFB9CA8BFC03768ADC988AB077FB?start=15&amp;tstart=0" target="_blank">the issue could be due to a bug with the tomcat server that uses VMware server</a>, maybe that <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">/# </span></strong>is a special command or something like this, I&#8217;m not sure, the fact is that it works!</li>
</ol>
<p>If this <a title="Chapuza definition by RAE.es" href="http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&amp;LEMA=chapuza" target="_blank"><em>chapuza </em></a>(means like workaround in spanish <img src='http://www.jams.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ) doesn&#8217;t work, restart your server. Despite using this <em>chapuza</em> there are some times that I still have the same problem, in order to avoid it, I just press CTRL + F5 to refresh the webpage and it works. By the way, I also read that there are some special issues if you are using Internet Explorer or Chrome, so be aware.</p>
<p>Well, I hope this could help someone of wasting time as I was.</p>
