weikinhuang / esxi-simple-web Goto Github PK

This is the first time I've installed esxi-simple-web so I can't tell whether this is a general problem or just particular to me.

The host is running ESXi 5.5u2 main page appears OK but when I switch to the list of VMs it get's stuck on loading.

The AJAX call to /mob/?moid=ha-folder-vm returns the following response

Raw content of the response is https://gist.github.com/andydavies/1ed8a11158bae8656b61

Hi! We had a power outage the other day and when my esxi booted, the /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/docroot/web directory was missing and in order to reinstall it, I had to place web/ within docroot/ again.

I was thinking a way around this could be to install the web/ folder in a different location and symlink to that folder from docroot/web. However, on a reboot, this symlink will also probably be removed so there must be a way to run a command on ESXi bootup and that I haven't figured out yet.

Just wondering if it's possible to manage snapshots using the MOB?

vim-cmd seems to work from the commandline but there's no way to access it from the web due to a lack of server side scripting... wish esxi was based on real linux.

Hi!

I'm running ESXi 5.5, and somehow the virtual machine that I'm currently hosting on it doesn't show up under "Virtual Machines". I don't know if this is a bug only for ESXi 5.5, I'm unable to verify this.

Best regards,
Viktor Jakobsson

Command should be
vim-cmd hostsvc/advopt/update Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob bool true

Also vms don't seem to show.

Hi! I like your web app and I installed it on a ESXi 5.0 machine and it worked for me. I recently installed ESXi 6.0 on a new machine and when I scp'ed the files over, went to the https://esxi-ip-address/web, accepted the certificate, I was shown the normal UI. However, the normal UI is stuck on "loading" and never seems to load my VMs.

Also I saw this error on my Chrome Console.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 503 (Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http20NamedPipeServiceSpecE:0xffb04b28] _serverNamespace = /mob _isRedirect = false _pipeName =/var/run/vmware/proxy-mob))

I can access https://esxi-5.0-ip-address/mob but I cannot access that page using the ESXi 6.0 machine... Has anyone got this to work on 6.0? Did the remove the "mob" functionality in the new ESXi???

Edit: Thanks to the dude from virtuallyghetto, he already ran into this and found out that the mob has to be enabled from advanced settings.

Thanks,

Title says it all, I have not been able to get power off/on to work on any of my VMs via the web access.

With latest 4.1 (VMware ESXi 4.1.0, 1682698) it shows summary screen normally, but does not detect VMs running, and VM screen reports

Total Vms: Error!

Just a small glitch: The name of the VMs is not url-decoded correctly before it is displayed (see the attached image).
Anyway, many thanks for this neat tool! :-)

After a reboot of the ESXi host the webfolder is gone. I'm running version 5.1

TotalVMs field is Error! when no VMs and blank when there is only one VM

i can't see web on ESXI 5.1.
how do i fix this issue?
thank you
