[Solved] Zentyal 4.0 - Incomplete install in VMware player

[dkebler]

Downloaded the latest iso.  Set up a new VM in VMplayer (linux host). 
After launch install seems to be proceeding but then it finishes dropping to CLI prompt instead of desktop.   Could be headless install but web interface not available either (used bridged mode and thus an IP on my local LAN).  Best I can tell zentyal was never installed.  I mean there is no sources set up so can't even try a reinstall from the prompt.

One issue may be that the VM player insists on doing an "easy install" which means the install is automated.  Maybe it's missing some crucial user input??

Anyone (tried) have any tips on getting this setup on VMware Player?  Otherwise I'm better off starting from one of my base ubuntu images and install zentyal from the CLI.

I'm running in esxi, all I can see is the default Linux login screen.

Have you tried going to https://your_ip:8443

Easy install was indeed the problem.

To turn off the "easy install" follow this page

and then install per the zentyal iso install page of the wiki.

BTW since virtualbox doesn't have easy install it installs fine there.
