What's wrong with my vmware start script?

Question

I am starting a vmware 2.x vm on a linux host.

This is my script:

#!/bin/sh
vmrun -T server -h https://localhost:11768/sdk -u tore -p mypass123 start "[my1] server1/server1.vmx"

The result when I call the script is:

Error: Cannot open VM: [my1] server1/server1.vmx, The virtual machine cannot be found

But I can start the vm from the browser ui. And in the browser ui it is configured like this:

Virtual Machine Configuration File: [my1] server1/server1.vmx

Answer 1

Try replacing localhost with the ipaddress of the host.
