Did you start vboxwebsrv? Is it running?

Original comment by imooreya...@gmail.com on 12 Aug 2010 at 12:47

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes, I started it with "vboxwebsrv > nul" command, and I can see it on the 
processes. it takes 6Mb of memory.
There is something that I should configure on the Vbox itself?

VirtualBox should require no additional configuration. What do you have in 
config.php for location?

I will paste the entire config.php file.

Hello,

Try changing the location setting so that it looks like this:

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

Let me know if that resolves it.

Hey! it seems to solved the startup, thanks =)
but when I try to start any VM is get stucked there (I've attached an image)
The machine should open in a new window? I have to deal with the RDP settings 
or this is an extra feature?
thanks in advance

I'm afraid you're misunderstanding phpVirtualBox a little. It is meant to start 
up virtual machines without displaying a window at all. If you want it to open 
up a window that you can interact with when you start a VM, you should just use 
the VirtualBox program rather than phpVirtualBox.
