SID-00372: Can't access http://twiki-vm/, need your kind help

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso	Last update:	16 years ago

Please kindly help me with next problem. Excume me for my bad English. I was trying to install Twiki following this text - http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiVMDebianStable. I proceeded step 1 and 2.

1. Download and install the VMware Player (from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/)

2. Download the TWiki VM package and unzip it to somewhere like c:\twiki. Download locations: (I downloaded latest version of TWiki, 4.3.1) But I couldn`t proceed step 3.

3. Start VMware Player and point it to the TWiki VM package ( .vmx file from the unzipped package) The reason that there is no any .vmx file in my unzipped directory (I searched several times)

After I understand that I did next.

Created .vmx file (please find it at the bottom of my message)

Downloaded Fedora`s .iso image. Putted it to VMware folder.

Pointed VMware to Fedora's .iso image.

Now I can lounch Fedora with VMware Player, but I still can`t access http://twiki-vm/ or http://IPaddressWhichIknewWithIpconfigInWindowsOrIpAddrShowInLinux/ I guess, I am one step from using TWiki but I don`t know what kind of step is it. I would like very appriciate for your advices. Thank you in advance.
