Topic: [SOLVED] Phpvirtualbox install fail

[crazybob]

I am trying to install phpvirtualbox on a SME 9.1 64 bit server.
I have tried both ver 4 and 5 on 9.1 both 64 and 32 bit, and 8.1 64 bit, ndd they all fail. It seems to be a problem DKMS
I have done some Googled it, finding reference to it, but not really any cure.
I have opened bug 9698.
Any Ideas appreciated.

I can install phpvirtualbox on a fresh vm (sme9X64)following this howto : https://wiki.contribs.org/Phpvirtualbox#Installation_phpvirtualbox-5.0_For_SME8_and_SME9

you can follow all the command set at https://gist.github.com/stephdl/ef873209bb72c4e73ad69088d9cc7866

see the rpm installed
[root@sme9dev64-7 ~]# rpm -qa dkms
dkms-2.2.0.3-34.git.9e0394d.el6.noarch
[root@sme9dev64-7 ~]# rpm -qa |grep -i virtualbox
smeserver-virtualbox-5.0-5.0.0-3.el6.sme.noarch
VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.26_108824_el6-1.x86_64
phpvirtualbox-5.0-5.0.2-1.el6.sme.noarch
smeserver-phpvirtualbox-5.0-5.0.0-1.el6.sme.noarch

verify firstable if you get the good version of rpm

Thank you.
Will do. I am currently re-installing a fresh version of SME 9.1 64 bit. Will report back later

Finally got everything loaded and appeared to go without a hitch.
I have the same rpms that you had me check.
When I try to access virtualbox, I get a screen that says with a circular thing rotating with firefox. It seems to work with Chrome though.

Fun i use only firefox (v48) i need to have a go on the new phpvirtualbox version.

I did have a minor problem with upgrading phpvirtualbox from 4 to 5. I found dkms also as to be removed and then re-installed.
Could stephdl please add to the wiki?

You are a wiki editore, please do it yourself, thank you

[crazybob]

Done.

[stephdl]

 

Code: [Select]

yum remove smeserver-phpvirtualbox\* smeserver-virtualbox\* VirtualBox\* phpvirtualbox\* dkms kernel}}
@crazybox : why do you remove the kernel, you don't need it ????

Ok the kernel on which you start cannot be removed, but I don't understand ?????

[crazybob]

I thought I needed to remove what had been installed, and now that you have brought it to my intention I realized I had removed only dkms. I will make the changes.
