Getting a 404 error with the Host Client

Duncan Epping · Jun 10, 2016 ·

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
