September 10, 201312 yr I've seen a few posts for getting virtualbox installed on top of unraid, but that's where they seem to end. Are there any guides that continue all the way through actually having a running virtual machine? Anything that includes phpvirtualbox? The plugin looks like it would be useful so long as it's current. I intend to give this all a shot in the very near future so I'm colecting as much info as possible. Thanks in advance!
September 10, 201312 yr The plugin is good for downloading and installing the needed virtualbox packages. It does not cover: * phpvirtualbox * Web server For the above 2 you can check here: http://vbox.a1aina.com/install.php

Is the one provided in Simple Features sufficient?
September 11, 201312 yr This requires using simplefeatures core plugin as well that overwrites stock to be able to use its web server plugin. Is there another (simple) way? I searched for another web server plugin on the forums but there doesn't seem to be one. OR: what is the minimum amount of SF i can use with 5 final? simpleFeatures.core.webGUI-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg simpleFeatures.web.server-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg with the 3 changes: edit the webserver.plg & replace the following sqlite-3.7.14.1-i486-1.txz replace with sqlite-3.7.17-i486-1.txz (should be 3 instances) and 433769b1cd27b59667a34295184356e3 replace with 60f75216d98dc6910f74eeef232421d7 (should be 1 instance)

September 11, 201312 yr Had a chance to try this today... installed vbox, set it to port 8009 installed SF webserver, set it to port 8011 downloaded phpvirtualbox and place it in the webserver folder log in to php 127.0.0.1:8011 get error: PHP does not have the SOAP extension enabled. Exception Object ( [message:protected] => PHP does not have the SOAP extension enabled. [string:Exception:private] => [code:protected] => 32 [file:protected] => /mnt/cache/apps/webserver/lib/ajax.php [line:protected] => 128 [trace:Exception:private] => Array ( ) [previous:Exception:private] => ) looking on the net it says to do something with a php.ini file, but i don't have that file. How does phpvirtualbox know that virtualbox is running?
September 12, 201312 yr look in the Virtualbox Thread.... you just need to enable soap on the webserver... it is just changing a small thing in a config file....
September 12, 201312 yr look in the Virtualbox Thread.... you just need to enable soap on the webserver... it is just changing a small thing in a config file.... stupidly/irritatingly i searched for the entire error message and that's what came up with nothing, hence the post. Sorted it now though, cheers....all very exciting! I'll write up a guide for people new to this shortly as well
September 12, 201312 yr Author AHA! So it doesn't look like I'll be getting OS X running on unRAID any time soon - at least not through the virtualbox plugin. The newest versions of OS X are 64bit (thus requiring a 64-bit host, which unRAID is not). And older version of OS X were released before Sandy Bridge processors (and thus don't support them). So until unRAID comes out in 64-bit, it looks like I'll be relying on Linux VM's to get the job done.

Where did you see you need a 64bit host OS - What I found is that you need a 64bit processor and not even that. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests

Plus with so many caveats like no speed step and only one core allowed, there are just too many restrictions and too many things to go wrong. maybe someday it'll be a viable possibility, but it seems mostly experimental right now.
September 16, 201312 yr If you're not hacking Unraid to run on top of Slackware - don't run a virtual machine on top of it. Unraid, while being a great file server, is a horrible general server. The security just plain sucks. Don't get me wrong, I love unraid for file servering. But as a general purpose server? Nope. Screw that. Give me something that can run SEL. (Security Enhanced Linux - helps sandbox everything)
September 16, 201312 yr however, if you are serious - look for a howto to run unraid on top of slackware. With slack as the base you get security and all sorts of other options.
September 16, 201312 yr Author Truth be told, I'm just using it at home. If I needed security for anything, I wouldn't be using unRAID. Even speed, while important, isn't the MOST important. I'll settle for stability.
