so I was having issues and before posting decided to do as much noobdiligence as I could to get this working and finally did, so I thought i'd post about it. Here's my setup: unRAID Server Plus version 5 simpleFeatures (most installed, including web server) unMenu, Plex Unplugged - Sabnzbd, Couch Potato, Sickbeard, Transmission MB: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - EP45-UD3P (disabled bios backup via bios menu) CPU: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU - 2.666 GHz Cache: 64 kB, 3072 kB Memory: 8192 MB (max. 32 GB) So I copied the plugin to /boot/config/plugins and ran: installplg /boot/config/plugins/virtualbox.plg Plugin installed without any errors. When I logged into the unraid main and navigated to the settings -> virtualbox page it showed config settings, etc. I updated the config and saved, but was unable to get anything else going as it didn't show any "online / local / installed" versions for VirtualBox, VirtualBox Extensions, VirtualBox Guest Additions. The only local version was VirtualBox Plugin. I then manually downloaded VirtualBox (plus extensions and guest additions) version 4.2.18 and saved them to: /boot/config/plugins/virtualbox/ returning to the virtualbox settings now listed 4.2.18 in the "Local Version" column. I manually installed the virtualbox package: installpkg /boot/config/plugins/virtualbox/vbox-4.2.18-unRAID-3.9.6p.tgz then ran rc script: /etc/rc.d/rc.virtualbox boot Its now working, also running phpvirtualbox via lighttpd from the simpleFeatures web server plugin. had to tweak config.php /* Username / Password for system user that runs VirtualBox */ var $username = 'vbox'; var $password = 'xxxx'; /* SOAP URL of vboxwebsrv (not phpVirtualBox's URL) */ var $location = 'http://192.168.1.254:18083/'; // Disable authentication var $noAuth = true; // Host / ip to use for console connections var $consoleHost = 'tegunux'; In the end I beleive the big issue was connection problems with the hosted versions of the virtualbox builds on the http://vbox.a1aina.com/ site... could just be temporary, but the plugin / settings menu couldn't grab the right files so the install wouldn't complete. This would be a manual install if you can get the packages downloaded to the plugin folder
