When I browse to localhost:8333, I get an empty page, only the footer text is being displayed. The installation seemed to have gone alright and the modules were also built without any complaints. I am not sure where the problem could. I installed vmware from its tgz sources. If somebody has been successful in installing vmware in Debian Etch, I would love to know how you did it. thanks, ->HSWell, since nobody has really bothered to answer your question, I'll try.What footer text is being displayed? Are you accessing the URL as https, not http? If you go to https://locahost:8333/ you should be redirected to https://locahost:8333/vmware/en/ Are you? What browser are you using? Konqueror didn't work for me. Firefox worked great.
I do get the redirected url you mention above (ending with en). But all I get is a gray text that seems to be a footer (with the copyright notice etc.). I did this on Mozilla and Firefox, both. And yes, I was trying the https url.
I have read the other replied, and I just now uninstalled vmware. I am going to try the rpm now and I'll see if that works.
Just for completeness, here is the text I get (in light gray near the top of the page, there is nothing above this text, apparently the page is empty and only this text is being displayed):
