navigator display this error when attempting to access ESXi Web UI (Host Client)
503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http16LocalServiceSpecE:0x000000ae3b9fc530] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _port = 8309)
I have verified that hostd and all management services are running and I restarted the management services from the console afterwards but am still receiving the errors.
try this solution :
- Log in to the affected ESXi host through SSH.
- Take a backup of the
/etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf file
by running this command:
cp /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.bkp
- Open the endpoints.conf file using a text editor :
vi /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf
the content similare to this :
/ local 8309 redirect allow
/cgi-bin local 8309 redirect allow
/client/clients.xml local 8309 redirect allow <—————– FOCUS

/sdkTunnel namedpipetunnel /var/run/vmware/proxy-sdk-tunnel allow
reject/tmp local 8309 redirect allow/vpxa local 8089 reject allow
/wsman local 8889 redirect allow
- replace redirect by allow like that :
/client/clients.xml local 8309 allow allow
-
Save and close the endpoints.conf file.
-
Restart the rhttpproxy service by running this command:
/etc/init.d/rhttpproxy restartOR/etc/init.d/hostd restartAND/etc/init.d/vpxa restart
I hope this help you
