→(OPTIONAL) Start Service on Reboot
* Refer to [http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/wiki/Installation phpVirtualBox Installation] for additional guidance.
===== (''OPTIONAL'') Start Service on Reboot Boot =====* To There are two methods to enable automatic start on reboot, exit .* Option 1: 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
@reboot /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null >/dev/null
* Option 2:
As '''root''' user, create the file /etc/init.d/vboxwebsrv and add the following:
#! /bin/sh
# PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh script
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
DESC="VirtualBox Web Service"
NAME=vboxwebsrv
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
USER=username
# Read configuration variable file if it is present
[ -r /etc/default/$NAME ] && . /etc/default/$NAME
# Load the VERBOSE setting and other rcS variables
[ -f /etc/default/rcS ] && . /etc/default/rcS
# Define LSB log_* functions.
# Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) to ensure that this file is present.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
