I am running a Fedora 14 server with VMware Server 2. When I initially installed VMware Server, everything was working fine. This included accessing Web Access on port 8333 (https) and 8222 (http).

I had to perform a server restart and afterwards, the Web Access is not starting when I run:

/etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt start

The VMware Server Host Agent starts [OK], but the Web Access has no [OK] or [Failed] next to it.

I also checked ports 8333 and 8222 by running a netstat, but neither are showing up.

In addition, I checked the proxy.log and client.log files in the following directory:

/usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/logs/

The proxy.log doesn't have entries in it past 9-18-2012, which is the date the server restart occurred. The client.log is empty.

I not sure what is causing this issue or what log files will be helpful in narrowing down the cause. I could re-install VMware Server, but I would like to narrow down the cause as it could occur again with the new re-installed environment.
