Hello,
It is part of virtualbox and should have been installed when you installed the
virtualbox package. Did you install it via the .deb for Ubuntu?

I am having the same issue, but on Debian Squeeze
antares ~ # locate vboxweb
/usr/bin/vboxwebsrv
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxwebsrv
/usr/share/man/man1/vboxwebsrv.1.gz
virtualbox: 4.0.10_Debianr72436
I installed it via the squeeze backports deb.

If running:
dpkg -S vboxweb-service
as root says it is not found, then it is not in the virualbox package you've
installed. If the package maintainer did not build virtualbox with specific
options, the init script may not be there.
Be sure to install the virtualbox package from a download obtained from:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
If you want to use 4.0.x, click on the "Older Builds" link on that page. All of
those packages for virtualbox >= 4.0 should include vboxweb-service. If it
still does not exist, please raise the issue over at virtualbox.org.

finally I never found it, even after desinstalling / reinstalling virtualbox
(from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and not the ubuntu download
center)
I had to add /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxwebsrv to the startup programs to start it
automatically.
Hope this can help someone.
Thanks for your answers

I wonder if the Ubuntu package lacks the startup script.

I think that is the problem, but not just for ubuntu. I installed from the
debian stable repositories, and the script was missing. I reinstalled using a
direct download from the virtualbox website and the script was there.

Also had problems with this (on 32 bit i386 Ubuntu Precise pangolin). Solved it
by uninstalling virtualbox, manually downloading the package from the
virtualbox site and then using the "install a new package from local file"
option in Webmin.
