Guide to installing PhpVirtualbox 5.04?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

I have been having some issues with PHPVirtualbox 4.3.2 (plugin) becoming non-responsive overnight. I have needed to restart the jail the last two mornings. I am wondering if the newer version would fix the issue.

I am not really sure how to do it thought.

So far, I created a new jail & then tried the following commands from the web shell:

cd /usr/ports/www/phpvirtualbox/ && make install clean
pkg update && pkg install phpvirtualbox

I went to the IP of the jail on a web browser but didnt see anything. I suspect I am missing some steps. I am pretty new & like the idea of virtualizing some servers that currently run 24/7 but are used rarely.

I do want it to be semi reliable though.

Thanks,
Rich

While I don't know the answer to your question, I can offer these observations:

cd /usr/ports/www/phpvirtualbox/ && make install clean
pkg update && pkg install phpvirtualbox

You don't have to install both the port and the package. One or the other is fine.

The latest FreeBSD port/pkg is still version 4.3.2 so reinstalling either the pkg or port won't bump up the version.

I have been trying to figure it out but no good. I keep having reliability issues with the VM's. They keep just becoming unresponsive. I cant restart or shut them down so I end up rebooting the plugin.

I keep having reliability issues with the VM's.

Did you check the box labelled "Use host I/O cache" in the VM Storage settings? Without that, I frequently saw Aborted VMs. With it checked, no more Aborted VMs
