Description Alan Hourihane 2014-11-10 19:01:29 UTC 
Trying to run

/etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server results in....

# /etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server start
 * Starting VMware Authentication Daemon ...                                                      [ ok ]
 * Starting VMware Workstation Server ...                                                         [ ok ]

But then when checking....

# /etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server status
 * status: crashed

Also, issuing stop results in this bad output....

# /etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server stop 
 * Shutdown VMs in the AutoStart Sequence ...

Turns out apache was running on port 443 confusing hostd.
