I did the below and I still couldn't get https://127.0.0.1:8333 to connect

Yep, so it looks like the VMWare services aren't running.

No, when you do that, you are accessing the server.

I didn't see what version of Linux you're running, but typically, you can do 
something like this :

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

This will start the VMWare services on your box.  IT may also display an error 
message that indicates what the problem is.

When I do it on mine, I see this :

mhm06...@drwatson:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
  Virtual machine monitor                                            failed
  Virtual machine communication interface                             done
  Virtual ethernet                                                   failed
  Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0                                   done
mhm06...@drwatson:~$

Of course, on mine, VMWare is already running.  If you do get an error about 
not finding a module for the runnign kernel, you will need to run the VMWare 
configuration utility.

sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl


That's my two cents ... maybe it'll help!


Michael
