Finding work folder for 6.34 client in VM

[G777]

Hey guys, this is my second attempt at running bigadv using the 6.34 Linux version on a virtual machine. Kinda confused... the first time I did the web config and entered the web address into HFM to monitor things. No problems except no big WUs', so I went back to windows version.

After hearing bigadv units were now more plentiful I went back and tried Linux/VM Ware again. This time I set up manually... and I cannot get HFM to work using the web address shown in the client. There should be a work folder somewhere to point HFM to shouldn't there? Can't for the life of me find it

Thanks Chris, I'll try that when I get home from work

Alpine- got a 6901 first thing: maybe luck or hopefully there's more out there!

The HFM folder to link is the same web address you used, adding to it \fah\.
As for using the VM, I've had only bigadvs for a week now.

Actually I thought I did add the\fah\ when I tried it. Will try again.I also noticed there were no virtual network and adapters created this time which I believe was the case when I did the web config.
I set the VM network setting to NAT, not sure if that would make a difference. I'm probably simply confused by it all, but is there not a physical location on the hard drive for the work folder? I tried pointing HFM at every folder I could find in the FAH folder the image extracted to. Also looked through program files, app data, did a search...

Thanks for the input guys!

The hard drive is a virtual drive, so you need to access it using the network address I listed earlier.
