I was recently forced to update a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 system to have all current updates (yum update). After performing the system update the VMware Server web management page keeps failing. I can get logged in but when I client on most any vm guest and try most any operation (like Play/Resume) the management page displays "Loading..." in all th enormal places but never resumes working. I have to run "/etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt restart" to get it to respond again. Of course, it only works enough for me to log back in and try one operation.
The guests set to autostart do run and get started.
This problem occurs for multiple guests. It occurs with VMware Server 2.0.1. I upgraded to 2.0.2 and have the same problem.
I installed viclient 2.5 from vmware server 2.0.0 and it behaves in a similar manner. After most any type of operation on a vm guest viclient stops working stating it's lost contact with the server. At the same time the web mgmt page stops working as well. A "vmware-mgmt restart" gets viclient going again, but it fails once I perform an operation.
Any suggestions?
