* http://www.amahi.org/apps/phpvirtualbox phpVirtualBox] has been packaged for Amahi and is currently in ''ALPHA'' testing.
==== How to Install Manually: ====
* Ensure '''''Advanced Settings''''' is be enabled on your HDA. This can be done via the '''''Settings''''' tab in the Amahi Dashboard.
* Navigate to the Amahi '''''Applications tab''''', create a web app called '''phpvb'''.
* Become '''root''' user:
su -
* Download and extract the source file:
cd /var/hda/web-apps/phpvb
wget <nowiki>http://phpvirtualbox.googlecode.com/files/phpvirtualbox-0.5.zip</nowiki>
unzip phpvirtualbox-0.5.zip
mv phpvirtualbox-0.5/* html
chown -R apache:users html
* Edit '''''/var/hda/web-apps/phpvb/html/config.php''''' and change the values below to your user name and password (must be the same user name as added to the ''vboxusers'' group during VirtualBox install):
var $username = 'ian';
var $password = 'pass';
* Start Web Service:
/usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null
* Enable Web Service start on boot:
Exit '''root''' user and edit crontab for your user (''whoami'' will display the current user name and must match the one in the previous step):
whoami
crontab -e
and add the following line. (to save, enter ''':''' followed by '''wq'''):
@reboot /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null
* Create Web Service daemon (this will allow start/stop for updating VirutalBox versions):
As '''root''' user, create the file '''''/etc/init.d/vboxwebsrv''''' and add the following (ensure you replace ''username'' on line 6 with the same user name as added to the ''vboxusers'' group during VirtualBox install):
#! /bin/sh

echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}" >&2
exit 3

Set permissions:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/vboxwebsrv
To use the service, do the following as '''root''' user (option: start, stop, restart, force-reload, status):
service vboxwebsrv option
* That's it. You should now be able to access VirtualBox from your browser at <nowiki>http://phpvb</nowiki>. It will restart automatically on reboot as well. Be aware moving the mouse pointer in this app is quirky and often difficult to navigate.
* Refer to [http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/wiki/Installation phpVirtualBox Installation] for additional guidance.
