    You'll need to start the service if it's not already running, login to the Service Console an do the following:

    service vmware-webAccess start

    chkconfig --level 345 vmware-webAccess on
    

    I believe that is the syntax, I'm going a litlte blank right now since I don't have access to a system to verify. You can always do a man on chkconfig to get the list of options but you'll be specifying the runlevels, the service name and then whether to enable or disable it.

    Disabling the webAccess service by default is design change in ESX 4.0. You can enable the same by following the two methods.

    1) As already answered "chkconfig --level 345 vmware-webAccess on"

    2) By enabling the webAccess Service through vSphere Client. Here is the flow "Configuration->

    Security Profile -> Properties -> Ungrouped. Check box with the

    name "vSphere Web Access"."

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks,
