Unable to reach shared folder contents via web server.

[robsautos]

I'm unable to use a shared folder as the root folder for the apache web server.

Quick Info:

Host:
Macbook Pro: OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
VBox: Version 4.1.16 r78094

Guest:
Ubuntu: 12.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64)

See attached text files for more information.

I can access phpmyadmin and the root directory apache is apparently pointing to (which I assume is the default) but, I have been unable to use the created shared folder as the root in apache.

I'm stuck and im about ready give up, please help.

Found this gem when I tried to re-run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11

Code: Select all

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.1.16 Guest Additions for Linux.........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Removing installed version 4.1.16 of VirtualBox Guest Additions...
Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules ...done.
Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules ...done.
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
module compilation fails then this could be the reason.

Building the main Guest Additions module ...fail!
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done.

Now looking into the headers...

And now its working. Not exactly sure why, but it has to do with running an older version of VBox on Mavericks (do not try).

This is what I get when I try to follow a year old tutorial 'to the T'.

Yes, I'm afraid time travel wasn't yet invented when VirtualBox 4.1.16 came out (May 2012), so they were unable at that time to make it compatible with Mavericks (Oct 2013).
