Just a short post. I was getting a 404 error with the Host Client when hitting https://<ip of esxi host>/ui. No clue what it was caused by. I re-installed the latest version of the host client but that didn’t solve it. Then I noticed that my endpoints.conf had “/ local” missing. You can check that as follows when logged in through SSH:
cat /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf
I did the following (edit + restarted the HTTP reverse proxy) to get it working again:
Edit the config file:
vi /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf
add the following:
/ local 8309 redirect allow
Restart the service:
/etc/init.d/rhttpproxy restart
