Creat Management pool of server - Change bitrix password&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now the virtual server is ready for use. The initial VA &lt;b&gt;Available actions&lt;/b&gt; menu appears as follows:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/portal_admin/install/vmbitrix/vmbitrix5/vmplayer3_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;449&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/support/training/course/index.php?COURSE_ID=12&CHAPTER_ID=06573&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Create Management pool of server&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; – creates server control pool;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/support/training/course/index.php?COURSE_ID=12&CHAPTER_ID=06581&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.

For example, to configure the local virtual server type &lt;b&gt;2&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;b&gt;Manage localhost&lt;/b&gt;) in the line and press &lt;b&gt;Enter&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To direct control back to operating system, press &lt;b&gt;Ctrl&lt;/b&gt;+&lt;b&gt;Alt&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To return from shell to the virtual machine menu, execute: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre class=&quot;syntax&quot;&gt;cd ./menu.sh&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;hint&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note: &lt;/b&gt;if you encounter problems with the network adapter, try changing the adapter mode (&lt;b&gt;Bridged&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;NAT&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Host-only&lt;/b&gt;): &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/portal_admin/install/vmbitrix/vmplayer4_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;399&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; Then, restart the server by selecting the command &lt;span class=&quot;path&quot;&gt;2. Manage localhost &gt; 4. Reboot server&lt;/span&gt; and pressing &lt;b&gt;Enter&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now that the server is running, type the address suggested by the appliance (it varies from system to system; the screenshot above shows the address &lt;span class=&quot;link&quot;&gt;http://192.168.2.15&lt;/span&gt;) in the web browser. You will see the following welcome screen: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;a name=&quot;vmsetup&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/images/install_en/vmbitrix/bitrixsetup1_sm.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Choose one of the options to continue:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Installation&lt;/b&gt; - runs the installation wizard which will download, unpack and install a new website;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Restore Project&lt;/b&gt; - runs a restoration wizard to create a backup copy of your website or restore it from an existing backup.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
