I did this situation:

1 start from console xterm vboxwebsrv as alex (me) normal user.
2 opened webbrowser and logged on phpvbox4.18 as admin/administrator (i changed the pass)
3 closed vboxwebsrv and restarted it as root (sudo su .... bla bla... .v..srv....)

obviously the browser got mad and showed up a vbox.. error.. not connected and so on...

4 reload browser and there it was. the root vm's with no vm's cause i have never build vm's with super and the admin user logged in.

The question is when i tried to change the pass of admin (user of phpvbox)  from browser it was no way.

I wonder how that can be possible... is it a bug ?


vbox 4 + php5 + phpvbox 4.18 + debian 2.6.32 kernel acer emachines 3gb ram 320GB HDD + XFCE4 + intel inside (celeron D dddd cause it was too cheap)

Hello,

Please raise any issues you may have at http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/issues/list. This list is for development discussion.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding you. VirtualBox's configuration is per-user, which is dictated by which user runs vboxwebsrv in phpVirtualBox's case. If you changed the admin username when vboxwebsrv was running as one user, then ran it as root afterwards, the password would not have been changed in root's configuration. This is expected behavior.

If that doesn't answer your question, please use the issues list at the googlecode site link above to create a new issue and discuss.
