Comments on Managing A Headless VirtualBox Installation With phpvirtualbox (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

Managing A Headless VirtualBox Installation With phpvirtualbox (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) phpvirtualbox is a web-based VirtualBox front-end written in PHP that allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. It tries to resemble the VirtualBox GUI as much as possible to make work with it as easy as possible. It is a nice replacement for the VirtualBox GUI if you run VirtualBox in headless servers (like in the tutorial VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.3 On A Headless Ubuntu 14.04 Server). This tutorial explains how to install phpvirtualbox on an Ubuntu 14.04 server to manage a locally installed, headless VirtualBox.

I'm having real problems with this. vboxweb-service does not exist. I've reinstalled virtual box (4.3.10) several times as per the guide for installing virtualbox-headless (direct from virtualbox and not from the ubuntu repos). I'm running Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS.

AQll I have in /etc/init.d that are related to virtualbox are:-

vboxautostart-service, vboxballoonctrl-service and vboxdrv

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
