Appliance in Virtualbox

Post by jabuddy »

Please solve my confusion.

I wish to install the Wordpress appliance as a Virtualbox image. I have downloaded and extracted the Ubuntu Wordpress appliance and opened Virtualbox. It offers the opportunity to import an appliance but only supports OVF format files which do not seem to be included in the appliance package. (It does support iso files, but they are not included in the package either)

What have I missed? I’m sure I’m being very stupid here but can’t seem to find any documentation or recommendation as to how to use Virtualbox as my hypervisor. My conclusion is that the appliances are only supported under VMWARE, note Virtualbox, is this correct?
