  1. 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.

  2. 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:

  3. Did you setup the second eth interface? This may help you:

    http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14988.msg141655#msg141655

    Anyway not sure if you will get the network performance you want for pfSense using emulated network interfaces, unless using virtio with pfSense maybe? but no idea if that would be easy... maybe esxi would be better for such setup if you hardware is ok for that...

     

    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.

  4. Did you follow every steps I listed?

    Creating a main folder, changing the web root directory and changing the port on webserver config? Yes. Yes & Yes but I found something wrong that kinda fixed the web server startup issue. I created the /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/main folder but forgot to move the phpVB and newznab folders into it. The webserver starts now. Port is 85 (as you requested). I also copied the lightpd file for just phpVB as I don't care about newznab running, just VB.

     

    So the webserver is running, port is 85, /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/main is the web root dir and ran all three files in the console and now I get a 404 - not found error when I try to access it via 192.168.1.3:8333.

     

     

    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.

  6. Okay.. try to follow this step:

     

    [*]Move /config/plugins/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4 to /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/ so it will be /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4

    [*]Create a folder called 'main' in webroot so it will be /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/main

    [*]Open up the setting page for Simplefeature Webserver

    [*]Change Web root directory to /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/main

    [*]Change Listening port to 85

    [*]

    Use this for your lighttpd.cfg

    
    
    # User customizations
    # Add your own settings here. These won't get overwritten upon reboot
    ## Abdd your own settings here. These won't get overwritten upon reboot
    #

    $SERVER["socket"] == "192.168.1.3:81" {
            server.document-root = "/mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/newznab/www/"

            url.rewrite-once = (
                    "^/.*\.(css|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|js|ico)" => "$0",
                    "^/(admin|install).*$" => "$0",
                    "^/([^/\.]+)/?(?:\?(.*))$" => "index.php?page=$1&$2",
                    "^/([^/\.]+)/?$" => "index.php?page=$1",
                    "^/([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)/?(?:\?(.*))$" => "index.php?page=$1&id=$2&$3",
                    "^/([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)/?$" => "index.php?page=$1&id=$2",
                    "^/([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" => "index.php?page=$1&id=$2&subpage=$3"
            )
    }

    $SERVER["socket"] == "192.168.1.3:8333" {
            server.document-root = "/mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/"
    }

     

    This should enable you to have your newznab at http://192.168.1.3:81 and phpvirtualbox at http://192.168.1.3:8333

    If you want to use a different port other than 8333, just change it in the lighttpd.cfg file. It's simple as that.

     

    but we are NOT DONE yet.

     

    It is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow these steps to install and set up VirtualBox. It won't work correctly if you don't run these commands in this order:

    [*]installpkg vbox-4.2.6-unRAID-3.4.24.tgz

    [*]VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null

    [*]vboxwebsrv -b -H 192.168.1.3 --logfile /var/log/vbox.log

    [*]VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.6-82870.vbox-extpack

     

    After you have done above, navigate to /mnt/cache/appdata/webroot/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4

     

    If you  haven't already, change config.php-example to config.php..

     

    Open up config.php

     

    Find this line:

     

    var $location = 'http://127.0.0.1:18083/';

     

    Change it to this

     

    var $location = 'http://192.168.1.3:18083/';

     

     

     

    NOW, you should be all done.

     

    open up http://192.168.1.3:8333

     

    The default username is admin, and the password is admin

     

    If you want to skip this authentication, find this line in config.php

    #var $noAuth = true;

    remove # (uncomment it), it will look like this:

    var $noAuth = true;

     

    This will skip the authentication process

     

    Let me know how this works out for you

     

    Cool! Thanks for spelling it out for me. I did everything and of course it did not work. :) Cannot see newznab either.

     

    But here is something weird that I found in the lightpd error log:

     

    [25-Jan-2013 05:08:49 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: string in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/mysql/mysqlctl.php on line 148

    [25-Jan-2013 05:08:49 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: results in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/mysql/mysqlctl.php on line 100

    [25-Jan-2013 05:18:01 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: results in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/mysql/mysqlctl.php on line 100

     

    The Web Server will not start no matter what I do or try.

     

    While in putty I did get this that I had not seen before:

     

    VirtualBox web service 4.2.6 r82870 linux.x86 (Dec 19 2012 15:42:02) release log

    00:00:00.000106 main    Log opened 2013-01-25T05:23:35.427945000Z

    Which I believe is a good thing. Am I correct in thinking that the last hurdle I getting the WebGUI running to see the VB interface?

  7. 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.

     

    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.  8) I made a backup of the original file and can work from there. Thanks again!

  8.  

    Jtech007, You need to edit the lighttpd.cfg file for your setup. This includes editing the IP addresses for your server, providing the path to phpvirtualbox & making sure there are no rewrite rules applied to phpvirtualbox.

     

    The above log file fix is not the issue for you. It would not hurt to change it, but it has nothing to do with changing how your web server displays pages.

     

    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

  9. Oh.. and another thing i want to mention..

    if you've read my post before in this thread, i found a problem where

     

    vboxwebsrv -b -H 192.168.0.199 --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null 

     

    This line of the command causes the permission for "/dev/null" to be changed.. and this cause some other plug-ins to function incorrectly.

     

    so instead of setting the logfile to /dev/null, I recommend creating a folder somewhere.. make a folder like /mnt/cache/vbox/log or something.

     

    Then run it like this..

     

    vboxwebsrv -b -H 192.168.0.199 --logfile /mnt/cache/vbox/log >/dev/null 

     

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

  10. I'm not sure I am getting a full picture of what is going on, so let me get you to clarify your last post.

     

    I copied jangjong  lighttpd.cfg file to my flash and restarted.

    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 three sucessfully & did both setproperty on page one of this thread.

     

    Still cannot login. UGH! :)

    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?

     

    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?

     

    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.

  11. Thanks but I believe I am closer than most of those issues seem to be. Here is what I have done:

    .

    This would indicate to me that everything is up and running properly. When I try to use my browser via IP address it cannot load the page. No prompt to "login" as other have noted. No php errors or anything else. I tried: http://192.168.1.4:8084/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/ = Working as Pyrater suggested and still not able to see the VB.

    .

    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?

     

    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.

    Thanks in advance for all your help, I hope to get this working soon.

  12. I'll assume you have the packages copied over to the correct locations and that SimpleFeatures web server is setup properly.

     

    This works for me on RC10 (you may want to reboot your server for a clean start).

     

    Run these from a telnet session:

     

    installpkg /boot/packages/vbox-4.x.x-unRAID-3.x.x.tgz

     

    webvboxwebsrv -b -H 127.0.0.1 --logfile /var/log/vbox.log

     

    VBoxManage extpack install /boot/packages/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.x.x.vbox-extpack

     

    Start (or restart if its already running) SimpleFeatures web server.

     

    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.

    I was playing with Newznab but have put it on the back burner for the time being. I will remove it and see if that sorts it out. Thanks!

  14. There is a wiki page for phpvirtualbox at http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/w/list that lists some common errors with phpvirtualbox. If you have a problem with it that is not listed there, click the Issues tab link, click the dropdown box next to Search (which is default set to Open Issues) & change it to "All Issues" then use the next box to type part of your error message & click the Search button.

    I attached my config file.

     

    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?

  15. 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?

     

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

  17. Giganews performance has just been unacceptable over the last month or so.  I am going to suspend my account and give a couple of others a try.  I am very disappointed.

     

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