[ale] Private Tomcat 6.0 Server and VMware Server 2.0

[Dustin Puryear]

I would *NOT* run both applications and VMware Server on a box. If you
want to go the route of using the hardware for virtualization, then I
would suggest:

 

* Install ESXi 3.5 (free), or a clean Linux+VMware Server (slower, more
hassle)

* Create your VMs, including one for your Tomcat/JBoss app

* Go from there..

 

Just a suggestion. I think you're going to have headaches otherwise.

 

To be honest, there is almost no reason to run VMware Server anymore. Go
with ESXi 3.5.

Subject: [ale] Private Tomcat 6.0 Server and VMware Server 2.0

 

I've got this large custom box (running CentOS 5.4) that I'm running
several applications on (JBoss 5.0, custom Apache 2.2, Tomcat 6.0, and
Oracle 11g R2 database). So I decided to install VMware Server 2.0.2 so
I could utilize all of those free cycles. 

After installing the VMware I noticed that I could no longer access my
Tomcat, and there was a new Tomcat running under the VMware file system.


Does anyone know how I can get my Tomcat back and still run VMware? Do I
need to move my Tomcat to one of my virtual servers? 
  
Thanks,
Gene Poole
