| Posted by hardjoko, 04-11-2009, 10:00 AM | | Hi,
I just rent a vmware dedi. I want to run some windows programs there like filezilla server, xampp, etc. How can I do that?
I have root password but I can't use it to remote desktop yet.
Anyone knows?

| Posted by wb-Jay, 04-11-2009, 07:46 PM | | What version of VMware do you have installed on your server?
|
| Posted by Jacob Wall, 04-11-2009, 09:21 PM | | You can't Remote Desktop with a Linux Machine(Since you said you had a root password). You'll need to install VNC in order to see a desktop(And install KDE/Gnome).

|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-12-2009, 08:59 PM | | What is vmware console? Where can I get it?
|
| Posted by Red Squirrel, 04-12-2009, 09:11 PM | | It's the client that lets you connect to the VM server and see the VM screens as if it was a physical machine. It should be on the same download page as the VMware product.
If you are using ESX you should be able to go to http://www.yourserver.com:8080 and it should get a download. Now I don't know if the port is actually 8080, you'd have to check the documentation.
Though I'm guessing you probably have vmware server, and if that's the case you get the console off vmware's site on same download page as server. That's for 1.0. If you're using 2.0 it's purely web based (that interface sucks btw, it crashes all the time) and is on https port 8333 so it would be https://yourserver:8333
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-12-2009, 09:13 PM | | I don't know.
Is there any way to know.
It looks like vmware console is the solution. Is it free? Where can I download it?
Thanks.
I ordered the whole thing from
www.server.lu

| Posted by Red Squirrel, 04-12-2009, 09:15 PM | | When you got the server did you install vmware yourself or was it included in the package? If it was included your host may be of better help.
Depending on which vmware you have, the console should be free. The ESX one is even free though it's hard to find on their site, but it should be a download on the ESX server itself.
One way to know if you have ESX or just server, does your server have an OS like CentOS, or Windows? Or does it look more like a limited Redhat system? ESX is it's own OS partially based on RedHat. I did not know this but recently I learned that the local interface on ESX is actually a VM in itself, and not the actual OS. They'd probably give you the SSH info for this though as it's where any back end stuff is done, though is rarely needed.

Good luck
|
| Posted by WH-Coach, 04-13-2009, 10:52 AM | | Are you sure you've purchased the right product for you? From reading the (mostly) good questions and seeing your response you may want to see if you can get into something a little more entry level
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-13-2009, 11:24 AM | | Well i used to just buy windows server and have no problem. Then I want to try something new.
|
| Posted by jNive, 04-13-2009, 02:16 PM | | did you purchase a vmware-enabled dedicated server (allowing you to install your own VMs on it) or did you buy a signle VM which is based on a VMWare platform? since that will largely determine what you can do and how to access it
|
| Posted by rustelekom, 04-13-2009, 06:49 PM | | He didn't pay. Server.lu now offer O/S images with included kernel patches/drivers to support different virtualization technology. As far as i know it is WMVare, VirtualBox and other one - just cannot recall it right now.
|
| Posted by skodat, 04-14-2009, 06:49 PM | | you need to ask the company your renting from or will rent from if they can provide the service
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-15-2009, 04:33 AM | | I can ssh to it. Actually I reinstall centosh on that server.
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-15-2009, 04:36 AM | | One thing for sure is server.lu absolutely do not have any support whatsoever. I'll try. Ups they have. I'll file a ticket shortly. Hopefully they answer fast.

| Posted by hardjoko, 04-15-2009, 04:44 AM | | This site seems to help
http://register.vmware.com/content/download.html
Now all I need is to download the file and then untar it. Hmm.. What command I should exactly put on that ssh. How do you install programs in linux anyway?
|
| Posted by WH-Coach, 04-15-2009, 09:53 AM | | I defer to my earlier comments.
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-18-2009, 12:52 PM | | Well, in the operating system I choose vmware. That's all I know.
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-18-2009, 12:56 PM | | I know. Linux sucks. I hate linux.
Why can't I just download a nice .exe program and install like in Windows?
Why do have to typ
tar -whatever -something complicated -fsdfjlfjsdfsd somefiles.rpm
Then I got to compile or what.
I mean this is just crazy. All hail Bill Gates. Long live microsoft. Screw linux.
That being said, a friend of mine install a vmware on top of that centos.
Hmm... I can access stuffs from https://212.117.171.94:8333/ui/#
So what am I using actually.
Is there a page on the web somewhere that explain how we should install vmware in linux? Any step by step instruction? Including the exact command line I should put on ssh?
Also server.lu listed vmware as an operating system
Is vmware an operating system or a program that run on linux?
I am aware that red hat, ubuntu, etc. are just a variant of linux right?

| Posted by Red Squirrel, 04-18-2009, 01:34 PM | | first you need to find out what you actually just bought. VMware has multiple different products ranging from ones you simply install on top of an OS (Vmware server 1.0 or 2.0) to ones that act as an OS (ESX, ESXi)
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-18-2009, 10:02 PM | | How to find that out?
|
| Posted by e-Sensibility, 04-18-2009, 10:12 PM | | You can install binaries on linux just like on windows. There are pretty little point and click distros that are every bit as functional and streamlined as windows. The fact of the matter is that you're trying to run a server, so you don't want all of the bloat, which is why instead of running a windows server you install things and configure them via the command line. It has nothing to do with windows doing anything linux can't, your problem stems entirely from your lack of understanding about your environment.
|
| Posted by RS Shamil, 04-18-2009, 10:48 PM | | You are using VMware Server obviously. With that, you can create virtual machines and install Operating Systems on them
|
| Posted by hardjoko, 04-19-2009, 07:39 AM | | Okay. With that I can create virtual machines and install operating system on them
GENIUS
How do I do that?
So I am not using ESXI?
This server.lu price is very competitive. If only they have a link to answer that question above they will have many customers.

| Posted by hardjoko, 04-19-2009, 07:52 AM | | Response from them:
This is VMWare Server 2.0, which has been installed on top of a Debian Lenny OS. We have plans to provide ESXi in the future, but the current version does not recognize our AHCI Sata drivers.
The VMWare we provide can be configured through a webinterface. The address is:
https://your-ip-address:8333
Your login the equivalent to the root login of your server.
This will be documented shortly on our wiki page.
