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
