Hi everyone,
We had a thunderstorm the other day that knocked the power out. When I started my server up there were a few network errors which I was able to resolve. I soon realized there was a problem with my virtual machine when I couldn't ssh, or ping it. I use phpvirtualbox as my gui interface, but when I navigated to the server via the url, "mediabox/phpvirtualbox", I was greeted with a 502 bad gateway error. When I navigate via the IP address, "192.168.2.11/phpvirtualbox", I was greeted with a "Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/)" Error. When I try to run "VBoxManage startvm LampServer -type headless", I get the following error:
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage: error: Start tag expected, '<' not found.
VBoxManage: error: Location: '/home/vboxuser/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
VBoxManage: error: /home/vbox/vbox-4.2.24/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[525] (nsresult VirtualBox::init())
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox
Has anyone seen this error before, and if so, what steps did you take to resolve it? I have verified that the vdi file for the server is still intact, but my VirtualBox.xml file is empty. I am running Ubuntu Server 14.04. Please advise if any furhter information is required.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
