Just to understand: * You run vboxwebsrv? * You have your Apache Webserver enabled and running? is it the latest version (2015.04.21)? * You have phpVirtualbox extracted in your webserver configured folder? * How are you trying to access phpVirtualbox? * Why have you changed the default address and port for vboxwebsrv?

I do not start the Apache webserver from this plugin. I start the vboxwebsrv that enables a webserver to communication with the phpVirtualbox.

Updated plugin. Now also supports unRAID v6 Plugin Manager. Changes: 2015.04.22 - Added support for unRAID v6 Plugin Manager and Architecture - Changed timeout to 10 seconds for all network connections (was 60 seconds)

Use the <CHANGES> section. It uses markdown (same as README.md). See my plugin: https://github.com/theone11/virtualbox_plugin/blob/master/virtualbox.plg It is also mentioned in the OP.

I updated one of my plugins to support both v5 and v6 plugin architectures. I found that for unRAID v5 "installplg" the "remove" method needs to be at the end of the "plg" files because installplg has a problem (generates an error) for creating it. returns an error that it cannot create the file. <FILE Run="/bin/bash" Method="remove"> <INLINE> . . . </INLINE> </FILE> can anyone else confirm this or is it something else? If I put the "remove" method at the end then the error is still generated but at least the plugin is installed.

I have my VMs on the cache drive and access the unRAID data via Share Folders https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders which require Guest Additions. It is faster than regular network shares because it doesn't actualy go through the physical network but directly to the unRAID drives/shares.

To get it working In /boot/config/plugins/apache/httpd/php.ini change "short_open_tag = Off" to "short_open_tag = On". Thank you, I will try it tonight. Can it be done permenantly as part of your plugin? will it impact anything else?

Virtualbox plugin released (version 2015.04.21-1) - see OP. supports unRAID v6 plugin manager

running phpvirtualbox v4.3.3 which is working on my production server 5.0.6 (simplefeatures webserver) but not on the test server.

Has anyone been successful in running phpvirtualbox on unRAID 6 using the apache web server plugin at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33692.msg310774.msg#310774 ? I copied my working phpvirtualbox folder to my unraid 6 test server (from my production server 5.0.6 where it is working) and I am getting the following error when trying to access phpvirtualbox - see attached picture I am getting the same error even when the webserver is not running at all. BTW - the plugin for unraid 6 is almost complete

I have started converting my VirtualBox and Swapfile plugins to be compatible with the new Plugin System. I have a few questions: * How does the plugin system check for updates when pressing the "Check for Updates" button? * Does there need to be a special update function/method to update the plugins? * Are there any other method that need to be supported aside from "remove"?

Compiling now for unRAID 6 Beta 15... Started working in the plugin adaptation to the new Plugin manger architecture... Trying to make 1 plugin that fits both unRAID v5 and v6 architectures...

I use cache drive. Just make sure the location on the cache drive is cache only so it will not be moved. Using an array data drive will slow the VM because any change (write) by the VM to the operating system will involve the parity drive.

Where is this documented?

The plugin itself is still not compatible.i will be working on it. Edit: It seems there is a problem saving the configuration settings using the method I chose (using external PHP file). Something has change in unRAID 6. I will have to look into it. If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it. I am a hobbiest programmer.

At last got my unRAID VM running again and am currently compiling Virtualbox for kernel version 3.18.5 (unRAID 14b). After that I will try to modify my plugin for the new plugin system... Edit: Compile completed... Waiting for a1aina to post on his site: http://vbox.a1aina.com/ Please post any issues with this version.

I haven't compiled the latest virtualbox for unraid 6b14 because my test server is down. The test server is an UNRAID (FREE license) virtual machine running on Windows VirtualBox that uses an IDE drive as the USB drive. The latest beta (14) for some reason doesn't let me run it as such - doesn't seem to allow the server to start running the array without recognizing the USB drive which does not exist. in previous beta versions and also on unraid 5 there wasn't such a problem. It boots fine and reaches the WEBUI stage but the array stays offline (STOP mode). Can anyone help finding a solution?

I will probably not compile any newer versions for the 32bit unRAID and will only continue to support 64bit version although I am still on 5.0.6 until 6 is released.

I usually compile the new versions. I have already compiled for v6B12 - I will send it to alaine to put on the server.

I haven't got the time to do the update now.

He is looking for a way to utilize the 4 holes in the front panel.

You can use them to for FAN SPEED knobs - but then you run the risk of people messing with your airflow.. Maybe you can place a working AM/FM transistor radio inside and set-up the knobs to control it's Power, Frequency, Volume, FM/AM - thus you will have a server and a radio all-in-one

So this is your first installation of the VirtualBox plugin? Please post your syslog and VirtualBox configuration files in the plugin folder.

I have not tested it yet on 5.0.6. What unRAID version did you upgrade from? What VirtualBox do you have installed?
