Topic: vboxweb service issue

[jameswilson]

Hi all
This happend to me today when shutting down the vm's to add an additional NIC
during the acpi shutdown of the vm's phpvirtualbox stopped working due to the vboxwebservice not running

Trying to start it caused

[root@sme-virtualbox ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start
Starting VirtualBox web service                            [FAILED]

so i

[root@sme-virtualbox ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules                         [  OK  ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules            [  OK  ]
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[  OK  ]
Starting VirtualBox kernel modules                         [  OK  ]

then rebooting no go

But

[root@sme-virtualbox ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules                         [  OK  ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules            [  OK  ]
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[  OK  ]
Starting VirtualBox kernel modules                         [  OK  ]
[root@sme-virtualbox ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start
Starting VirtualBox web service                            [  OK  ]

gives me phpvirtualbox fine.
But if i reboot i loose them again

Any suggestions please

[jameswilson]

Is there anymore info that would help?

[Stefano]

[jameswilson]

[jameswilson]

I know you want to see some but which and under what circumstances?
