LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] phpvirtualbox tutorial

Hi,

I have followed the tutorial at http://www.howtoforge.com/managing-a...x-ubuntu-12.04 but have an error when I try to login at myserver/phpvirtualbox/

I use the default username/password (admin/admin) but get the following error message:

Code:

Exception Object

(

    [message:protected] => Error logging in to vboxwebsrv.

    [string:Exception:private] => 

    [code:protected] => 64

    [file:protected] => /var/www/phpvirtualbox/lib/vboxconnector.php

    [line:protected] => 188

                        )



                )



        )



    [previous:Exception:private] => 

)

The only information in the logfile is

Code:

VirtualBox web service 4.1.18 r78361 linux.amd64 (Jun 20 2012 14:50:49) release log

The output of

Code:

ps aux | grep vbox

is:

Code:

I have tried commenting/uncommenting the noauth in

Code:

/var/www/phpvirtualbox/config.php

but it doesn't really make any difference.

My

Code:

/etc/default/virtualbox

looks like:

Code:

VBOXWEB_USER=vbox

VBOXWEB_LOGFILE=/var/log/vboxweb.log

Can anyone help please?

thanks
