Exporting/Permissions Issue

Post by oguruma »

I am looking to export a vbox from a Debian (Jessie) host. When I try to do this via phpvirtualbox, I get VERR_ACCESS_DENIED.

When I try to copy/paste individual vboxes from the /vms folder, I get ".vbox cannot be copied because you do not have permission to read it".

I am assuming this is as simple as changing permissions, but as a Linux noob, I don't know where to start.

From your Linux's distribution's manual? I fail to see where the VirtualBox question is. I can definitely see where the "noob" Linux user question might be, so I'd start there...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
