I have never used VMware Player on Windows, so I am not certain how you
would check the
IP address.  VMware should set up a virtual IP for the image when started.
 If you can
log into the command line in the Koha image you should be able to issue
the command
"ifconfig".  When you do that you should see all the information for the
interfaces
scroll by.  If it goes to fast and spools off the screen, use "ifconfig |
less", that
will allow you to see a screen at a time and use the space bar to scroll.
 Here you
should see something like "eth0:1" or similar and see the IP address
associated with it.
 The Koha VMware image should start apache by default.  Otherwise you can
do
"/etc/init.d/apache2 status" to see if it is running.
Hope that helps.

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 web gui via
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.
