Dear Kyle Thanks for detailed email. I followed your instructions step by step. Also I've understand all the steps. inet addr: value in my virtual appliance is 127.0.0.1. But when I point to http://127.0.0.1 it says: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1. It means, my windows xp machine is not connected to vmware player. How it can be connected. Also 127.0.0.1 is default local address of each machine and browser tries to open web service of same machine. Any suggestion?

Try this: 1. Start the koha vmware appliance. 2. Log in to the server once it has started, the default username and password are kohaadmin and kohaadmin if you are using the appliance I made. 3. Type the command 'ifconfig'. You will get some text describing the various network interfaces, for the one named eth0, find the line the begins with 'inet addr:' The ip address is right after it, for mine it looks like:"indet addr:192.168.20.50 Bcast:192.168.20.255 Mask:255.255.255.0'. So my appliances ip address is 192.168.20.50.
To access the opac, open a browser on the machine running vmware, and put the ip address in the URL field. To access the librarian interface, append ':8080' to it. Mine would be "192.168.20.50:8080".

Thanks Jim for response. You have made a valid point. But as I mentioned earlier I am using vmware player at windows XP. How should I know the ip address of that virtual machine and how can i determine whether apache is running or not. I am not aware of linux commands...

Dear All
I have downloaded koha vmware virtual appliance. It is working fine in VMware player. But i am unable to load its gui. I used startx command on shell but it says that is a wrong command. What should i do to access intranet and opac?
Cyberarian
If I understand correctly, it sounds as though you are trying to access

the server itself. This won't work by default. The VMware image does not include a desktop (as far as I'm aware) by default. Use another machine on the network and access the server via the browser via the servers IP address such as
http://ser.ver.ip.address/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl
Hope this helps.
