I have been running the latest build of VMware Server 2.0 BETA for quite some time now, but out of the blue I started to have issues logging into the VMware Infrastructure Web Site.
Host: Windows XP 64-bit edition (SP2)
CPU: Quad Core (2.1Ghz)
RAM: 8GB
Upon presenting the credentials on https://localhost:8333/ui (using the netbios name or FQHN does not make a difference) the website just sits there for a few seconds with the "Connecting" status, the applet then launches showing "Loading" in the bottom frame, the IE status bar shows "8 items remaining". After about 30+ seconds it finally generates the error message:
The server could not complete a request (HTTP 0).
The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. If this problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
I tried reviewing the Tomcat logs for any hint as far as what is happening, but no luck. All the virtual machines that were configured prior to this incident launch just fine, but I am of course not able to configure/manage them without Vmware Infrastructure. The issue occurs in both IE6 and Firefox 2.
All VMware services are up and running.
Has anyone observed similar behavior? Workarounds? Tips? Manually enable debug logging for Tomcat?
Any suggestions are welcome.
