phpVirtualBox Jail - Error: "Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/)"

[l3eastie]

I've just followed the brief and simple instructions in the User Guide here to install and configure a "VirtualBox-4.3.12" template jail in which to host phpVirtualBox.

I can connect to the login screen, but on entering "admin", "admin" am being greeted with an error detailed as follows:

Code:

(
  [message:protected] => Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/)
  [string:Exception:private] => 
  [code:protected] => 64
  [file:protected] => /usr/local/www/phpvirtualbox/lib/ajax.php
  [line:protected] => 128
  [trace:Exception:private] => Array
  (
  )

  [previous:Exception:private] => 
)

I'm unable to find any further FreeNAS/BSD-specific pointers on this error and would be very grateful for a quick pointer on the very strightforward error I must have made.

Did you connect using the IP address you assigned to that jail and is that address valid and unique on your network?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I did and it is.

I'm having this same issue and am still looking for a solution. I'm also able to access the VirtualBox recovery page after renaming the file, but get the same error after pushing submit. I'll post my results if I find the answer and would love to hear from anyone else who's seen this.

Waking this post back up as I'm having the same problem with a new setup.

Bumping this post as well. Anyone find a solution to this? I'm on 9.10 and create a new jail, assign ip address, I get the log in for virtual box and enter admin/admin and it leads me to this message.

FIXED. the vbox directory had the wrong user.

chown -v -R vbox /home/vbox

fixed it for me
