vboxweb-service not found in /etc/init.d

Post by MGarius »

Hi everybody,

I managed to intall VirtualBox headless on my linux server (debian 8 ) and also tried phpVirtualBox which works very good.
But the vboxweb-service is not starting automatically. I found that this should be done by an init script /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service which is not existent in my installation.
Is this normal? Currently I am always loggin in to my server, start a screen session, change the user to vbox and start the webservice-server with "vboxwebsrv -H 127.0.0.1"

Is'nt the init script installed with the package so the vboxwebservice will start automatically?

Best regards!

Sorry, forgot to mention I did that already.

My /etc/default/virtualbox:

Code: Select all

LOAD_VBOXDRV_MODULE=1
SHUTDOWN_USERS=""
SHUTDOWN=poweroff

VBOXWEB_USER=vbox
VBOXWEB_HOST=192.168.2.211

VBOXAUTOSTART_DB=/etc/vbox
VBOXAUTOSTART_CONFIG=/etc/vbox/vbox.cfg
Web service does not autostart with this config.
