Error logging in to vboxwebsrv.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Dear All,

I have just installed Oracle Virtualbox and trying to phpVirtualBox to have a 
Web Interface.

My Scenario -
Operating System - Windows 7 64 Bit
VirtualBox Version - VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.12_77245
PHP Version - 5.3.3
phpVirtualBox - 4.1-7

I can open php info web page correctly, thus I am assuming I have set the my 
username and password correctly at the config.php.

On opening http://192.168.1.10/phpvirtualbox/ I get a login prompt and when I 
enter my username/password, it throws an error - "Error logging to vboxwebsrv".

Please note that the error is same even if I deliberately enter wrong 
username/password.

My Error Details
Exception Object

    [message:protected] => Error logging in to vboxwebsrv.

Same issue. This issue seems to be linked to vbox web service that is not 
executed.
When i execute the process with root right, vbow web service is running, when i 
use vbox user, the service still not started... I'm using Mageia 2 64 bits...

Okay, so after working on this for some time and pulling whats left of my hair 
out. I was able to get past this ugly error message. What I had to do was make 
sure the "vbox user on the system had a password and then enter that password 
in plan text in the config.php file 

/* Username / Password for system user that runs VirtualBox */
var $username = 'vbox';
var $password = 'pass';

Where "pass" is replace with your password. Seems a little unsecure however 
once I did this I was able to login with admin / admin.

Hope this helps!

unfortunately, this solution did not solve the same issue on my SEVEN.
I still rejected with code error 64.
