create a user “vbox” and configure password for that user.

$ sudo useradd -m vbox -G vboxusers $ sudo passwd vbox Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully

edit /etc/default/virtualbox file

There were the file “virtualbox” under /etc/default directory, so I created the file.

$ sudo vi /etc/default/virtualbox $ cat /etc/default/virtualbox VBOXWEB_USER=vbox

start vbox-webservice

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start Starting VirtualBox web service ...done. $ sudo lsof -ni:18083 COMMAND     PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME vboxwebsr 24354 vbox    9u  IPv4 105577      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:18083 (LISTEN)

$ unzip phpvirtualbox-5.0-5.zip $ sudo mkdir /var/www/html/phpvirtualbox $ sudo mv phpvirtualbox-5.0-5/* /var/www/html/phpvirtualbox/

$ cd /var/www/html/phpvirtualbox/ $ sudo cp config.php-example config.php

edit config.php and change password

class phpVBoxConfig { /* Username / Password for system user that runs VirtualBox */ var $username = 'vbox'; var $password = 'pass';

error..

Googling thie error, we might fix this by adding the following two options in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

$ tail -2 /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini extension=json.so extension=soap.so

restart apache2 to reflect that.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
