Vboxwebsrv on Redhat 9 not starting

Post by myhobby »

OS: Redhat 9 / PHP8
Virtualbox is running via Xserver
Need vboxwebsrv to enable phpVirtualBox web-access, but

systemctl status vboxweb-service.service
× vboxweb-service.service

So some questions and or details:
- Are there any known issues with the RH9 and Vboxwebsrv ?
- /etc/default/virtualbox content:
VBOXWEB_USER=root
VBOXAUTOSTART_DB=/etc/vbox
VBOXAUTOSTART_CONFIG=/etc/vbox/autostartvm.cfg
