Can't start vboxweb-service

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Just installed VirtualBox and PHPVirtualBox on my Ubuntu Server 12.0.1 using 
these guides: 
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
save for creating a new user. VirtualBox is configured to just use my existing 
user that has been added to vboxusers

/etc/default/virtualbox only has one line, and it is VBOXWEB_USER=[my user]

when I run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start I get
 * Starting VirtualBox web service                                              
 * 
If I change VBOXWEB_USER to root, it works, but I can't access phpvirtualbox 
for some reason.
