Log for VMware Server

The first place to look if a problem arise is the extensive log files provided by VMware Server. Of course, all this information is in the official manual but I prefer to have it handy...

Virtual Machine & Event Log (on linux host)
First you should do if your virtual machine crashes is to take a look at the log here:
1- Virtual machine log in your virtual machine folder:
 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/<vmname>/vmware.log
2- Virtual machine (power on/off cycle) event log in file:
 /var/log/vmware/event-<path to virtual machine>.vmx.log

Remote Console Log (on client)
Windows client:
 C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\vmware-<username>\vmware-<username>-<PID>.log
Linux client:
 /tmp/vmware-<username>/ui-<PID>.log

Web Management Interface log (on linux host)
 /var/log/vmware-mui/
 1- access_log
 2- error_log
 3- ssl_engine_log
 4- ssl_request_log

VMware Authorization Service Log (on linux host)
You must enable this service manually by adding the following lines to the /etc/vmware/config file:

vmauthd.logEnable = TRUE
log.vmauthdFileName = "vmauthd.log"

Once the file is saved the service is active and you can take a look at it in /var/log/vmware

VMware Registration Service Log (on linux host)
 /var/log/vmware/vmware-serverd.log
