Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/

After updating my Synology NAS to the latest version phpvirtualbox doesn't seem to run any longer. I have tried reinstalling but this didn't solve the problem This is the error I keep getting:

I have also tried changing 127.0.0.1 to localhost.

My DSM version is DSM 6.0.1-7393 and I'm running a 1815+. Not sure what version I ran before updating. I have installed "VirtualBox_x86_64_5.0.20-106931-1".

Help?

I m getting the same error. I have tried replacing 127.0.0.1 with "localhost" and/or the ip of my sysnology nas. I did the changes in the config.php file and any other file I could find. Still getting the could not connect error no matter what I used. One thing I did notice in my "resource" monitor I did not see any virtualbox instance running. Maybe with the new DSM update the VB server itself will not run or is not running as it should.

The following is provided as reference
Synology NAS 1815+ with 16 gig of ram
DSM Version 6.0.1-7393

Hope they have a fix soon...

[Seth Sauls]

Okay after much searching and learning here is what "phpvirtualbox" is

phpVirtualBox is not a full blown virtualization product, it is a web based interface to manage the VirtualBox on a virtualization host machine remotely. This will not enable you to run virtual machines on your Synology box.

I thought that the phpvirtualbox was the full blown VB program, it is not. phpvirtualbox is a GUI management program to manage the full VB enviroment remotely.

So the error's we are getting is legit and is not the fault of the program. phpvirtualbox is only a couple of megs in size, the full blown VirtualBox program is close 100 meg in size or bigger.

This why we are getting the connection error, there is no full blown VB program running at the assigned address.

Hope this explains it.

I have send a message to Synology asking what could be the problem. If they removed virtualbox (I guess that is what you are saying) then they must support this.

[Chris Hamilton]

http://spk.diablos-netzwerk.de/ - Dev has stated that VirtualBox does not work with the current version of the Synology OS. We will have to wait for them to fix it or roll your NAS back a version.
