phpvirtualbox Cannot Connect to host

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up phpvirtualbox on my machine, however I ran into what seems 
to be quite a common issue, whereby I cannot log into the web interface and get 
an error saying it cannot connect to host.

Below I have pasted the error code in full.
These are the guides I used to setup phpvbox on my machine:

http://www.howtoforge.com/vboxheadless-running-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox-
4.1-on-a-headless-ubuntu-12.04-server

http://www.howtoforge.com/managing-a-headless-virtualbox-installation-with-phpvi
rtualbox-ubuntu-12.04

I have read through numerous such troubleshooting tickets, but none seem to 
help.

OS - xubuntu 12.04
Vbox 4.1
phpvbox 4.1

Here's what I have tried so far:

1 - Reinstalling Vbox 4.1 headless and phpvirtualbox
2 - Reinstalling the extension pack
3 - Reinstalling apache2
4 - chmod on the www/phpvirtualbox directory
5 - Running the VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary default command.

This is something that baffles me. If anyone could offer any assistance at all, 
that would be great.
Also please find the php config attached.

Hello,

Did you start vboxwebsrv? What do you see when you type:

service vboxweb-service status

 as root?
