Post by Jobias »

Hi.

And for the name of executables (I am interested in VBoxWebSrv)? I know it is call VBoxWebSrv.exe in windows, but no idea in linux...
Thanks!!

The install locations vary depending on the Distro IE: deb, rpm, OSE, OSE packed & Windows. Plus if compiling you do not add the parm --enable-webservice in your ./configure statement, it will not be built.
You should read chapter 9.21 Starting the VirtualBox web service automatically in your VirtualBox users guide for more detail.
