VMware Web Service Not Available
After upgrading to VMware Server 2, I have sporadically received an error message stating “vmware ServiceNotAvailableException: Web service not available”. There isn’t much information on the cause of this error, but I found disabling IPv6 resolved it for me.
On CentOS 5 you can disable IPv6 by adding the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf. You will need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
alias ipv6 off alias net-pf-10 off |
