This happen to me the other day when I forgot to stop the Array before I pulled a drive out of the hot swap tray. Put it back in and ran a parity sync and all was back to normal. Sounds like your problem might be a bit different.

Got and e-mail back from Andy, checking on the status of where I was at in line. I asked to be put on the list in December. "I checked and you are on the list. With the inventory we currently have it wont reach to where you are on the list, however we should be getting another large shipment in the end of April early May and we will have enough when those come to fill your order. Once they are ready to go I will send you out an email with all the details of what we have available and how to order." Looks like I have a few months to decide on how many to buy. Bummed that I didn't make it this go-round but maybe the next shipment will have newer motherboards or processors.

I e-mailed him in December to be added to the list. Still no e-mail. Bummer, I was hoping to get in on this round!

You could write down the serial/model/size of the HD and then re-boot the server and look in your bios to match up that info to what the post report says it is connected to. Problem with most is they run their server headless so you would have to connect a keyboard and monitor. If you have a connection via putty you can look here for the commands to find it via the console: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Console

I wondered if I needed to "add" it to the unraid/linux setup before VB would see it. Thank you for the link! Trying to use the resources on my unraid box before I put it on a bare metal box.

Does anyone know if VB will support more than one physical network card installed inside the box? Currently all it sees is the onboard NIC but I have a quad port gigabit that I would like to use for VM's and a pfSense install.

No problem! I am glad that I was actually able to figure something out. I probably need to take some classes to understand it more. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

SO I looked back at a few of your prior posts and actually learned (somewhat) what this does. Since I just copied this: # User customizations # Add your own settings here. These won't get overwritten upon reboot # $SERVER["socket"] == "192.168.1.3:8333" { server.document-root = "/mnt/cache/www/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/"} To my lightpd file and saved it I noticed that since my web root dir is currently /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/main that it why I got the 404 error as the lightpd file is looking for it at /mnt/cache/www/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/. So I changed the lightpd file to match the web root dir that you had me change it to earlier and now I am looking at the login prompt for the phpVB. Finally got it working! Thank you very much for all your help on this one, and to lainie as well for putting it all together and hosting the site. Hopefully other nOOB's like me will benefit from my issues and get it working.

Okay, to help you out i will need these from you: Path of where Newznab is located /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/newznab Path of where phpvirtualbox is located /config/plugins/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4 Your local IP address of your unraid machine 192.168.1.3 Your "Web root directory:" path under the web sever setting in WebGUI /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/newznab/www Your "Listening port:" setting under the web sever setting in WebGUI 81 I can help you write lighttpd.cfg if you need. That would be great, but I would also like to "learn" what it does and what needs to be added to make each one work. I am not sure at this point what that file does for newznab and why it interferes with other processes. You weren't supposed to copy exactly what i have. You were supposed to use my lighttd.cfg as a guide line. I found that out after it didn't work. I made a backup of the original file and can work from there. Thanks again!

Any idea what I need to change? I have my original file but have no clue what is attributed to Newznab and VB or what code to add (not my strong suit)... I attached the original lightpd file. lighttpd.txt

I need to try this when I get home. Thanks Jang!!

You copied exactly what jangjong listed? (which includes IP address, port numbers & paths for his setup, not yours) Yes, that's exactly what I did. I didn't realize that it would need some tweaking. I guess if I knew what that script did, that would help. His post is a guideline for your to see how multiple rewrite rules can be used on different ports. You will need to put in your IP address, the path to your web directories... might be able to use the port numbers he listed, but can also change them to be something easy for you to remember (just need to make sure nothing else on your system is using the port number you choose). Does the Virtual Box create or modify this file in Simplefeatures when it is installed? IE: if I didn't have Newznab already installed would this file even exist or what would it look like with just VB running? Installed all 3 what? Vbox, vboxwebsrv & the extension pack are the 3 I think you mean. Correct For setproperty, I think you mean you ran these 2: VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary default Correct VBoxManage setproperty vrdeauthlibrary default Correct If you are able to get a login prompt, but having trouble logging in, then running "VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null" without the quotes would fix that. Not able to get to the login prompt which I guess would be due to the lightpd file not being setup correctly? This will depend on how you setup your lighttpd.cfg file & what port & path you set. Did you remove any settings you originally configured for newznab? Or did you specify a path to phpvirtualbox on another port? Neither, I copied his settings and restarted. I have a copy of what was originally there. I have limited knowledge of what the file does, so any areas or threads you can point to would be a big help as to what to have in there along side of it to make VB work would be a big help. Also, if I figure out how to uninstall Newznab will that file need to be there and does VB use it for anything? Thanks again for all your help, some of the unraid stuff and plugin's I understand. The coding side and how they all tie together is a weakness.

Everything looks like it is running that should be. You mentioned Plex... that made me think about other plugins... Are you running Newznab or Spotweb or anything that includes rewrite rules for your web server? I don't run Plex, so not sure if it had you change any settings on the web server; I know both spotweb & newznab require rewrite rules which do not play well with other web applications. If rewrite rules from another program is the issue, let me direct you to this post by jangjong in the spotweb thread. I used his information to have newznab on its own port, spotweb on its own port & phpvirtualbox running on the same port as PHPMyAdmin, all on the same system. I copied jangjong lighttpd.cfg file to my flash and restarted. Installed all three sucessfully & did both setproperty on page one of this thread. Still cannot login. UGH! I have tried 192.168.1.3:8084 & :8084/phpvirtualbox-4.24 with no luck. Is there a log file somewhere that would show me why I cannot login or maybe the wrong port? Thanks in advance for all your help, I hope to get this working soon. -J

I think from the other post that it might be Newznab getting in the way, but I will need to confirm that when I get home (at office now). I have SimpleFeatures up and running and the installs of all three files check out so I hope it will be a conflict with Newznab at this point.

Thanks but I believe I am closer than most of those issues seem to be. Here is what I have done: Installed everything per your instructions and run each program and get the "similar output" ie: root@tower:~# installpkg /boot/packages/vbox-4.x.x-unRAID-3.x.x.tgz Verifying package vbox-4.x.x-unRAID-3.x.x.tgz.

EDIT: I could not get my Plex Media Server to run when I ran all three programs to get VB up and going. I restarted the server and did not try to install VB and the Plex Plugin works now. Could this be part of my problem? Thoughts? config.txt

Anyone? Still can't IP in to it...

Did you try logging in via ip address: 192.168.0.xxx (xxx=your servers ip) and can you login to the server via the console with your password?

Need some help logging in to the phpvirtualbox... Installed per instructions on your webpage and cannot login to virtual box via the web browser. I have read all of this thread and I believe that I have everything setup correctly. I did notice that the config.php file was not setup originally, so that may be where the problem lies. I renamed it and changed the user and password for the unraid server so they would match. Where do I go from here?

Preclear took for ever on the 4gb drive. I have this one running as my parity drive now and plan on buying another to increase storage soon.

I thought I was the only one that was having issues with them. Good to know I am not the only one!

Or do you mean something else? Sorry, I didn't see that you were having that problem as well. Looks like you will need to have small monitor handy if the VGA route doesn't workout.
