Ubuntu 12.04 - vboxweb-service not starting on boot #538

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I've been playing with virtualbox 4.1.12_Ubunur77245 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server 
(x32). Everything runs well, except I have an issue where the vboxweb-service 
is not starting up properly on boot.

It's been registered as a service and a script exists in /etc/init.d (root:root 
privs) but everytime I reboot the box I have to manually run "service 
vboxweb-service start" which works fine after that.

However I need the service to auto start (and will be working on having my 
single VM autostart with it.) for an unattended headless setup.

The only log info I can find is /var/log/vboxweb.log as defined in 
/etc/default/virtualbox. Here is all the output from a single reboot:

VirtualBox web service 4.1.12_Ubuntu r77245 linux.x86 (Apr  6 2012 15:13:19)

I have no idea what else to check, but there doesn't seem to be any clues here. 
What else can I check?

Hello,

Please ask over at ubuntu forums how to get a service to start at boot. I 
believe it is something like:

# update-rc.d vboxweb-service defaults

.. something like that. Google or ask on some ubuntu forums to be sure.
