Question: I'm using VMware Server 2.0.1-156745.i386 for Linux on Ubuntu 8.10.

When I run "vmware", it brings up what is supposed to be the login page in a browser, but it just loads a blank page.

This is the address:

```
https://127.0.0.1:8333/ui/

```

Sometimes the login page comes back if you reload it a bunch of times, but this time it won't. Doing this also doesn't help:

```
/etc/init.d/vmware restart

```

Does anyone know why this happens, and how to fix it?

Answer: 
I've seen that issue several times. I've dealt with this by clearing my browser cache, and then re-loading the page.

I have fewer issues with this on my Mac using Safari, but Windows users with IE or Firefox have the problem more regularly. I believe one coworker reported that Google Chrome worked more reliably.

It seems to me to be an issue with the browser, not the VMware service on the system. Clearing caches and using different browsers seems to work around the problem, but I haven't found a proper reason or solution for this yet.
How much memory do you have? VMware server 2 is seriously slow when it's short on memory, when I first installed it I assumed it just wasnt working at all.
