FreeNAS vmware install.

2006.12.16 – 2:44 pm PST

I downloaded the latest FreeNAS 0.68 vmware image. After I unzipped the file, and put the guest OS where I wanted it, I came across an error.

Unable to connect to the MKS: You need execute access in order to connect with the VMware Server Console.  Access denied for config file: /mnt/sda1/virtual machines/FreeNAS 0.68/FreeBSD.vmx.

After searching google for the error, nothing came up. Fortunately it seemed like an easy fix after a few thoughts. Of course zip files do not retain file permissions. But of course, it could have been created on a windows machine. Either way, the fix was easy.

The Fix:

$ chmod 755 *.vmx
$ ls -la *.vmx
-rw-r--r-- 1 px users 1224 2006-12-16 14:24 FreeBSD.vmx
$ chmod 755 *.vmx
$ ls -la *.vmx
-rwxr-xr-x 1 px users 1224 2006-12-16 14:24 FreeBSD.vmx

Now the guest OS starts up just fine.

# as root
pkg_add -r sudo
 
## now after a few modifications to your /etc/sudoers you are able to use your own user to perform tasks which require root privledges.
 
# as your own user
 
sudo pkg_add -r bash
 
sudo pkg_add -r bash-completion
 
sudo pkg_add -r nano

Sometimes error messages make me laugh a little because, they are funny, and generally have other meanings. Here is one from di.

px@m0n0test ~]$ di
