SID-01818: Installation of TwikiVM, Can't get it to boot

So I am new to this. And I'm failing miserably at it.

I went to the DownloadTwikiVM page and tried to follow the instructions found there.

1. I downloaded and installed VMware Player. 2. This morning I finished downloading the TwikiVM file, and unzipped it into a single folder.

3. I run VMware Player. The screen comes up with options to create a virtual machine. 4. I click Open VM, and direct it to the VMX file located in TwikiVM's folder.

The settings screen reads as follows: Memory - 1gb Processors - 1 Hard Disk - 20gb

Under the options it says the Guest Operating System is Linux. And the Version is set as CentOS. It was originally CentOS 64-bit, but that got an error message.

This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host does not support Intel VT-x.

And it gives me a link to the VMware site. The site says that the CPU must be 64-bit to do this.

So is the TwikiVM strictly a 64-bit? Or am I needing to do something else?

Discussion and Answer

That means you can't use this VM on your computer because the CPU does not support 64-bit mode. You can use an older TWiki VM that runs in 32-bit mode, TWikiRelease05x01x04.
