VMWare Player Version 4

We have received reports of people having problems with the HPCC VM Image after they have upgraded their VMWare Player to version 4.

We are currently researching this issue.

After further research, we have verified there is no problem with our VM under VMWare Player Version 4. As with any other VM image, please shutdown the virtual image completely (power off) before proceeding with the VMWare upgrade.

For those of you still struggling with VMWare, there is an alternative provided by the open-source option, VirtualBox. (https://www.virtualbox.org/)

Once installed, create a new virtual machine.
Select the "Linux" option from the Operating System drop-down box and for OS Type choose "Ubuntu".
You will need to add at least 2 Gigs of memory allocated for the virtual machine.
Use an existing hard disk by browsing to the system.vmdk file supplied in your HPCC virtual image download package. Make sure to select the Boot Hard Disk check box.

If you do not have proper assigning of a private IP Address for your virtual box, try changing the setting from NAT to Bridge Adapter with default settings.

If the web interface hangs, try restarting box. This has happened to me a few times from first loading of the box.
