Please create a zip file containing the two files and add it as an attachment to your next post.

I have other VMs installed and running on this group.fth0 wrote:If the VM files for multisite00 are still in the /home/satimis/VirtualBox\ VM/multisite00/ folder, you can reboot the host, make a backup of the two files you've sent and replace them with the two files in this post's attachment. You can compare the files to see that I've changed the two paths matching the current location of the files.

I suggested to reboot the host before replacing the files for the following reason: Only if neither the VirtualBox Manager nor any of the VMs is running, the VBoxSVC process also is not running, and only then you can safely replace the files. If the VBoxSVC is running when replacing the files, they probably will be ignored and overwritten with their old contents later on, when the VBoxSVC process is terminated.satimis wrote:If I replace the existing VirtualBox.xml with your edited VirtualBox.xml would it affect other VMs?

Other than that, compare my modified files with your original files, and you'll see that I only corrected the wrong paths of multisite00.

Yes. You've already seen that my VirtualBox.xml file contains the corrected link to the multisite00.vbox file. Similarly, my multisite00.vbox file contains the corrected link to the multisite00-disk1.vdi file.satimis wrote:1) Do I need to replace your edited multisite00.vbox file ?

A quick google on the Linux 'ps' command seems to show this.satimis wrote:What does "5439 ?" indicate?
I don't know. Depending on which Linux OS and which Linux shell you're using in the terminal, my command may be incorrect. But it seems to fulfill its purpose.satimis wrote:Why there is "1" in red color popup ?
If you use ps -e (without the rest of my suggested command), you'll also see the heading of the output (PID 5439, TTY ?). You can then use man ps in the terminal or in Google to learn what the output of ps means. To get even more output to wonder about, you could use ps -elf or ps aux for the full glory. I'm glad that I only suggested ps -e.satimis wrote:What does "5439 ?" indicate?
