That's why I asked.

It's a complete pain and you're better off using the older one.
It's actually probably running. During its installation, did you accept all defaults? If so, open a web browser and go to 127.0.0.1/ui

See if anything's there.

(This is one reason I don't like it, I accepted the defaults, not realizing what was happening and now I can't run it at the same time I'm running nagios or cacti.)

I haven't run 2.0 in awhile now, so I'm afraid I can't be too much more help. Somewhere in there should be a console view, which would be more like what you'd be used to from the older VMWare servers.
