vboxwebservice does not connect to phpvirtualbox #569

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I installed phpvirtualbox 4.1 and Virtualbox 4.1 from virtualbox.org in a Linux 
Debian Squeeze machine with php 5.3. I can run the virtual machines from 
console using VBoxHeadless but I can't connect with phpvirtualbox or 
vboxwebservice.

I configured the file /etc/default/virtualbox with:

VBOXWEB_USER='myuser'
VBOXWEB_HOST=127.0.0.1
VBOXWEB_PORT=18083
VBOXWEB_LOGFILE=/home/gunhost/vboxweb.log

Then I restarted vboxwebservice with:

/etc/init.d/vboxweb-service stop
/etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start

But the process is shown by ps but it is not shown by netstat -pan and I can't 
connect to the port using a web browser (lynx).

Te log reports:

myuser@myhost:~$ cat vboxweb.log

How can I debug it more to try to find the problem?

Thanks.

Hello,

Do you see the anything when run:

netstat -an | grep 18083

?

No, netstat -an does not show anything for port 18083. The weird thing
is that is listed in ps -ax but doesn't appear in netstat.

Thanks.

Stop the service by running:

/etc/init.d/vboxweb-service stop

as root. Then:

su - myuser 

.. whatever the user configured in /etc/default/virtualbox is..

Then as that user, run:

/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxwebsrv

.. do you see any errors printed?

Hello,

It looks like vboxwebsrv can't bind to the port. Are you using selinux?

Original comment by imooreya...@gmail.com on 15 Aug 2012 at 1:14

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
No, selinux is supposed to be disabled in the kernel (according to what it says 
in http://wiki.debian.org/SELinux/). When I installed the server, it was no 
selinux installation (and no iptables rules) and VBoxWebServ was working fine. 
After some upgrades (apt-get install dist-upgrade) vbox web server stopped 
working.

The only selinux pakage that i have installed is:

ii  libselinux1    2.0.96-1       SELinux runtime shared libraries

Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I really have no idea. *Something* on your system is stopping 
vboxwebsrv from listening on 127.0.0.1 port 18083. I believe this because it is 
not showing up in netstat and you see the error message "SOAP FAULT: Cannot 
assign requested address." You can try working it out on either the 
virtualbox.org forums or a debian forum.
