Aha! There's a hint here (see below).

...And here's the other shoe dropping. You are each running different
builds of VMware Server!

The difference you are seeing between the two is that one of you is
running VMware Server version 1.0.6 while the other one is running the
pre-release version of VMware Server 2.0 (currently at RC1 stage).

VMware Server 1.0.6 works quite well under F9, but VMware Server 2.0 RC1
has many issues, including the ones the OP has noted. I'm not certain
how to overcome these yet, but I know that there are several things that
seem to conflict with regular F9 components. Apache is just for openers.
Other things just plain don't work at all.

I have yet to find a solution for getting 2.0RC1 going. Anyone given it
a try and had success getting it to work yet?

Cheers,

Chris
