Missing "/etc/vmware/locations" file

$

Hello Everyone,

 

 

I'm running VMware Server 2.0.1 on an RHEL 5 host. I wanted to change the configuration of VMware Server by running vmware-config.pl. As a result, I powered off all of the VMs and stopped the VMware service. Not having run vmware-config.pl yet, I just restarted my machine. On reboot, I stopped the VMware service, but it said FAILED. Curious as to why, I tried starting it. It told me that '/etc/vmware/locations' is missing. I went to check it out, and sure enough, it is missing. I didn't delete it, it seems like it just disappeared.

 

 

Now here's my problem: Because this file is missing, I cannot run 'vmware-config.pl' because it says the file is missing. I can't uninstall VMware and reinstall it because it says '/etc/vmware/locations' is missing. I can't just install it because RPM says its already installed.

 

 

Any help would greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

Farzad
