I decided to create a new thread , old one had a different title and different issue and was not getting attention anymore.

Ok so , i moved to a different host & network, my Vcenter, NSX and everything else works, except my vcloud director interface.

What i have changed are the centos IP, change the IP of database and vcd using this guide.

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1028657

After a - service vmware-vcd status

i get

vmware-vcd-watchdog is running

vmware-vcd-cell is dead, but pidfile exists

the cell goes running and then dead constantly. Is there anything else i should do to get VCD up and running after changing ip?

I did change my DNS entries and it resolves perfectly, have ip in both my DNS and my centos hosts file.

The browser did ask me to accept certificate when i went on https://192.168.120.75 , but then i just get "

This site can’t be reached

192.168.120.75 refused to connect.

Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

These are my settings, globalproperties.
