Can’t access VMWare Console

VMWare Management Console URL

https://<your.vmware.server.ip>:8333/

If you can’t access it try to open it using different browser. Still can’t? try to flush the firewall

# iptables -F

Make sure all vmware service is running, especially vmware-hostd, vmware-mgmt. Like below

# netstat -pant

If not try to restart vmware-mgmt.

# /etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt stop

Kill the rest wmware-hostd PID, and start it again

# /etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt start

Update:
1. Try another browser if you can’t access VMWare Management Console (like. older IE, older Firefox or use Opera)

2. You should access your VMWare Management Console URL using the same name in your VMWare’s SSL certificate. In my case on the certificate I name the vmware server as vpsserver.myholding.com so I should type on browser. Create an A record for it if you don’t have it.

https://vpsserver.myholding.com:8333/

3. For Firefox 3.6 has been disable SSL2 support. To enable it type “about:config” in url then set security.enable_ssl2 into true.
