PhPVirtualBox error

stephdl · September 5, 2019, 1:37pm

you cannot install my rpm because yum doesn’t understand it is an upgrade, so you must remove them, a quick way is

rpm -e --nodeps nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-phpvirtualbox nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-VirtualBox

then install them like I asked but but but in fact my rpm build by travis have disappeared, I will push them to testing

roberto.schiano · September 5, 2019, 1:54pm

Done.

stephdl · September 5, 2019, 2:37pm

please testing QA

roberto.schiano · September 9, 2019, 8:13am

OK done…
All steps are OK.

Only problem that remains after accessing the virtualbox as admin / admin:

Exception Object
(
    [message:protected] => Error logging in to vboxwebsrv.
    [string:Exception:private] => 
    [code:protected] => 64
    [file:protected] => /usr/share/phpvirtualbox/endpoints/api.php
    [line:protected] => 134
    [trace:Exception:private] => Array
        (
        )

    [previous:Exception:private] => 
)

Is it on a new vm or always the same as the beguinning?

roberto.schiano · September 9, 2019, 1:22pm

Same thing on two machines, on VM and on my NAS.
The same error.

Do I make a new VM?

roberto.schiano · September 9, 2019, 3:01pm

Other tests:
I created a VM2 and installed VirtualBox from software center.
“YUM Error”.
from terminal I executed the command “yum clean all” and I tried again to make the updates and the YUM always goes in error.

roberto.schiano · September 9, 2019, 3:12pm

Other tests:
I created a VM3 and installed VirtualBox as QA.
All OK, until access to the web interface.
Then, same mistake as always.

stephdl · September 9, 2019, 6:03pm

Please do other testers could test to install php virtualbox as the qa of the bug (from nethserver-testing) i cannot reproduce the failing state

stephdl · September 9, 2019, 6:15pm

definitively I cannot reproduce

yum update -y; reboot

then install the rpm from testing

yum install nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-phpvirtualbox nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-VirtualBox --enablerepo=nethforge-testing

something fun also, you doesn’t have the redirection to https, it is forced, it works on my side, but not on your system

Really I do not understand

roberto.schiano · September 10, 2019, 7:52am

I did as you asked.
The YUM problem no longer appears.
The VirtualBox task is activated in the applications section.
Updates work well.
The problem remains when I want to access the web page of the virtualbox.
Admin / admin give an error as if false credentials were used.
possibility:

I create VMs from a broken template. Unlikely, I tried it on my NAS and the result was the same.
There is some modules that conflicts with the VirtualBox.
I can’t do it, because I’m not as expert as you and I don’t focus on the problem
I don’t know …

stephdl · September 10, 2019, 3:28pm

Not a matter to be expert or not, I simply cannot reproduce your error so I cannot fix it

what is your php version (centos7 default is php54)
what is your network schema (one or several nic bridged to a real IP of your network)
do you have installed nethserver-dc or nethserver-directory, admin/admin is when you do not have any account provider

@dnutan @mrmarkuz could try to test and report

yum update -y; reboot

then install the rpm from testing

yum install nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-phpvirtualbox nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-VirtualBox --enablerepo=nethforge-testing

mrmarkuz · September 10, 2019, 6:18pm

I could reproduce the error. If there is no red interface, you’ll get this error, see Phpvirtualbox-5.2 needs testers

[root@testserver ~]# expand-template /usr/share/phpvirtualbox/config.php
ERROR in /etc/e-smith/templates//usr/share/phpvirtualbox/config.php/20SettingsRDP: Program fragment delivered error <<Can't call method "prop" on an undefined value at /etc/e-smith/templates//usr/share/phpvirtualbox/config.php/20SettingsRDP line 21.>> at template line 5
ERROR: Template processing failed for //usr/share/phpvirtualbox/config.php: 1 fragment generated errors
 at /sbin/e-smith/expand-template line 45.

Maybe check if $red has content?

github.com

NethServer/nethserver-virtualbox/blob/master/phpvirtualbox/etc/e-smith/templates/usr/share/phpvirtualbox/config.php/20SettingsRDP#L21




my $ndb = esmith::NetworksDB->open_ro or die("Could not open Networks DB");
my $cdb = esmith::ConfigDB->open_ro or die ('Could not open Config DB');
my $accessRDP = $cdb->get_prop('phpvirtualbox','accessRDP') || 'green';
my $ipaddrRDP = $cdb->get_prop('phpvirtualbox','ipaddrRDP') || '';


my @green = $ndb->green();
my $greennic = $green[0]->prop('ipaddr');


my @red = $ndb->red();
my $rednic = $red[0]->prop('ipaddr');


my $IP = '127.0.0.1';


if ($ipaddrRDP) {
    $IP = $ipaddrRDP;
}


elsif (($accessRDP eq 'green') and ($greennic)) {
    $IP = $greennic;
}

After setting up a red interface and expanding the template it worked:

expand-template /usr/share/phpvirtualbox/config.php

stephdl · September 10, 2019, 6:56pm

Thank you will try to fix

stephdl · September 10, 2019, 8:51pm

Thank all, could you test again @roberto.schiano @mrmarkuz

yum update -y; reboot

then install the rpm from testing

yum install nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-phpvirtualbox nethserver-virtualbox-5.2-VirtualBox --enablerepo=nethforge-testing

mrmarkuz · September 10, 2019, 9:10pm

It’s working now. After install I could login with admin/admin.

But according to your test case:

go to the software center, you must have no warnings relative to the repository key of virtualbox, do a yum upgrade, yum must not ask to accept the key of the virtualbox repository, it must run smootly and propose directly some upgrades for virtualbox

I was asked for a key when doing the yum update:

Is this ok [y/N]:

do a signal-event software-repos-save after the event the repository must be enabled

virtualbox.repo is enabled without doing “signal-event software-repos-save” manually.

roberto.schiano · September 11, 2019, 7:56am

Hi everyone.
My steps:

On ProxMox server I created many VMs
I installed the latest version of Nethserver, made the wizzard and only updated it.
The PhP is definitely the default one.
The NIC is definitely in bridge, it is a virtual machine. But on my NAS it is a physical NIC with its own IP of the LAN
I manually installed the PhPVirtualBox as written in QA.
I have not installed any account providers.
I only have one NIC (green), both on the VMs and on the NAS

roberto.schiano · September 11, 2019, 10:43am

I did it all over again.

new ProxMox (ver 6)
new VMs
executed the last manual commands

Everything works, even on my NAS.

Now another problem:

All the proposed operating systems are 32 bit …

Limitation of a virtualisation over an virtualisation
