Forum registration fails, so i will ask here.

I'm trying to run the server manually using the server downloaded zip file. When I run the server and try and connect from a client, I get the following error.

I believe the default location your code looks is /usr/lib/virtualbox. But my VB is installed in an alternate location. How can I configure the server to know where my VB is installed?

Thanks.

OK, I managed to turn on debug. How do I set vbox.home?

To be more specific, I am running from hbox-0.0.10-linux_amd64-server.zip.

Hi Gregory,

To specify the vbox.home, when selecting the connector in Hyperbox Client, you have a text field right under. Simply put the value you would normally put for vbox.home in there.

About the forum, could you make a new topic and put the specific error you're getting (a screenshot would be nice too)? Thanks!

I put the VB home (/opt/VirtualBox) in the text field, but I still get the error. Looks like the text field fills in the 'Options' value. Also, the libvboxjxpcom.so is not in the VB home folder. It is in a subdirectory. Is there a server config file to set the vbox.home and the java.library.path to the proper values?

I tried to reproduce the registration and recovery problem, but looks like it fixed itself this morning. Still waiting for the activation email.

Put the path to the subdirectory then.
vbox.home is a wrapper around an API call to directly set the base dir where the library should be found. My code use that direct API call which would override vbox.home if you pass an option.

If that fails, you can try by specifying the vbox.home into /opt/hboxd/bin/hboxd and/or /opt/hboxd/hyperbox
Both are bash script calling the java executable, you can add -Dvbox.home=/path/to/lib in there before the main class name.
I would still be interested into the log if the first option fails, so I can improve hyperbox on that.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I found if I specified /opt/VirtualBox/i386/ as the Option when connecting, it went fine. For some reason it didn't like /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/ or just /opt/VirtualBox.

Thanks,

Greg

Thank you for the feedback, I think I'll integrate some auto-discovery and add these 3 paths.

I guess this is for a test/self compiled version?

I was just using the Linux zip package download from your site. I made a post in the forum about it now..
