Thank you for using Bitnami. Did you configure the network settings before starting the VM? For example, for VirtualBox, we suggest the users to use the "Bridged adapter" option to configure the network in the VM.

Happy to help!

Hi jota,

thanks for the quick reply.
I am running an ESXi Server with a number of VMs already online.
Two networks are configured as Standard-Portgroups, all my other VMs have two adapters.
I tried the Pimcore appliance with both networks, the effect was identical both times.
What can I do?

One more thing.
On investigating the issue found some posts which recommended:
add the line:
blacklist i2c-piix4
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
and run update-initramfs -u
then reboot.
However, neither with user "user" not with "bitnami" I have access and rights to create a blacklist.conf file in the directory.
I also have not found any hint as to how logon as root.
Maybe the problem can be solved if I have the rights to create the blacklist file.

Ok, issue solved by trial and error.
I did three things after which the network configures and the Pimcore instance is accessible:
- converted the vmdk Disk to a VMWare Infrastructure virtual machine using the VMWare Standalone Converter (6.2)
- changed the setting for the OS from "other linux" to "Debian/GNU Linux 9" in the VM settings
- activated an DCHP server within the network to allow the VM to retrieve an IP address

Maybe the DHCP alone would have done it.
