Comments on Managing A Headless VirtualBox Installation With phpvirtualbox (Ubuntu 12.04)

Managing A Headless VirtualBox Installation With phpvirtualbox (Ubuntu 12.04) 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 on headless servers. This tutorial explains how to install phpvirtualbox on an Ubuntu 12.04 server to manage a locally installed, headless VirtualBox.

"That's it already - you can now open a browser and access phpvirtualbox as follows:

http://www.example.com/phpvirtualbox/

The default username is admin, the password is admin as well:"

I think of late, unzip procedure has changed, at least for me the unzip command unzips the files in the base folder instead of phpvirtualbox-4.1-7 on ubuntu 12.04 x64. So here is what I did:

mkdir -p /var/www/phpvirtualbox
cd /var/www/phpvirtualbox
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/files/phpvirtualbox-4.3-0.zip
unzip phpvirtualbox-4.3-0.zip
rm phpvirtualbox-4.3-0.zip
cp config.php-example config.php
