vboxwebsrv does not recognize changes made directly to configuration files outside of virtualbox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

VirtualBox 4.2
phpVirtualBox: 4.2 (svn/trunk)
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64

When switch between servers, the list and virtual media manager information is 
not refreshed.

Configuration:

Have two compute nodes (servers) sharing an glusterfs volume (like an NFS 
mount). The virtual VBOX home dir is on this volume. Both servers point to the 
same location. When I switch between servers, newly provisioned machines and/or 
media does not appear in the other server.

I have tried stopping and restarting the vboxweb-service but it doesn't appear 
to help.

Hello,

I don't think this is supported by VirtualBox itself. Do newly provisioned VMs 
show up on the other server when running:

VBoxManage list vms

?

Yes, it does appear when I do the "VBoxManage list vms" on the other server(s).

Can you attach your config.php (with passwords removed) please?

I'm sorry, I don't know how to make vboxwebsrv pick the changes up. This is 
essentially like directly modifying the main vbox XML file and expecting the 
program to pick it up. I don't think this is possible. You can try raising the 
issue over at virtualbox.org.
