VMware player is not really suited for server based applications. If you want to use the Virtual Appliance it's better to use the ESX or Hyper-V version. Or, install it on a dedicated Linux box. That said, it's possible to use VirtualBox with the Virtual Appliance for VMware player. See Appendix A of the Djigzo Virtual Appliance guide. I have copied the relevant section: 1) Open the Virtual Media Manager (File -> Virtual Media Manager) and press Add to add an existing medium. 2) Select a hard disk image file. Select the Virtual Appliance .vmdk file and close the dialog. 3) Create a new Virtual Machine. Use Operating system Linux and version Ubuntu. 4) Set base memory >= 640 MB. 5) Select the .vmdk hard disk created in step 2. 6) Make sure the network is set to: Attached to: Host Interface. 7) Enable the advanced option PAE/NX. 8) Finish. You can now start-up the Virtual Appliance. Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers Djigzo open source email encryption
