Hi Michal,

Here's what appears in the logfile when using libvirt_logfile_set:

[Wed Jun 29 15:18:00 2011] [error] [client 10.9.1.10] PHP Warning:
libvirt_connect(): internal error HTTP response code 500 for call to
'Login'. Fault: ServerFaultCode - Cannot complete login due to an incorrect
user name or password. in /var/www/virt.php on line 9, referer:
http://10.9.0.3/
[2011-06-29 15:18:00 libvirt-php/core]: libvirt_connect: Cannot establish
connection to esx://10.9.0.2?transport=http

Best regards,
Koen Calliauw
