    I am trying to start the service after upgrading Debian Wheezy to Jessie (7 to 8). After getting Apache to start, I tried logging in, and am greeted with the traditional "can't connec to host" error.

    When I try to run (as root) /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start, I get the following:
    `Starting VirtualBox web service ...fail!

    tail /var/log/virtualbox.log
    1300:43:57.194561 SQPmp Request 1382098 on socket 10 queued for processing (1 items on Q)
    1300:43:57.194613 SQW05 Processing connection from IP=127.0.0.1 socket=10 (4 out of 5 threads idle)`

    Apache starts just fine. I don't know where else to go from here.

    uname -a Linux sss 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4 (2016-02-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

    FIXED!

    Followed the instructions here

    1. apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    2. echo vboxdrv >> /etc/modules
    3. /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup (done this twice, did nto fail the second time!)
    4. /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service start

    I could then log in.
