phpVirtualBox

The web-app works with VirtualBox 3.x and 4.x.

It is an open source, AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP.

As a modern web interface, it allows to access and control remote VirtualBox instances.

Much of its verbage and some of its code is based on the (inactive) vboxweb project.

phpVirtualBox was created for developers who prefer not to have to log in to their headless VirtualBox host to administer their virtual machines.

What is new in this release:

• Fixed some English translations.
• Added fr_fr and de_de languages.
• Fixed top toolbar and Virtual Media Manger translation bugs.
• Fixed OSE startup bug and removed console tab when OSE is detected.
• Fixed Host Details bug that would not display the VirtualBox host server's details when it is selected in the list of vms.
• Fixed bug in File -> Preferences that would not correctly reflect a change made to any prefrences on the General tab.
• Workaround for Console tab resize bug that would disconnect from an existing console session when the window was resized. Now, it automatically reconnects after a window resize event.
• Applied UI enhancements patch supplied by compuwizard123 http://code.google.com/u/compuwizard123/
• Host details now include VirtualBox version.

What is new in version 4-2:

• Viewing a VM's screen shot in a new window while running now prints a descriptive error rather than displaying a blank screen if the Oracle VM Extension Pack is not installed.
• Re-enabled console tab in IE. Disabling it in the first place was because of a HUGE oversight on my part. Which leads to the next feature.
• Console tab now displays a message if the Adobe Flash plugin is not installed.
• Host network card and drive list is now properly refreshed when refreshing host info via the Machine -> Refresh menu item.
• Added MAC Address to Guest Network Adapters dialog.
• Default RDP port when creating a VM is now 3389-4000. Allowing for a range of ports.
• Fixed VM creation bug that created all VMs with an Unknown OS type and name set to the specified OS type.
• Fixed VM creation bug that would incorrectly display 'None' as the hard drive after creation until the newly created VM was refreshed.
• Tuned down PHP error reporting to keep Notices from being displayed when PHP's default error reporting is set too high in user's PHP config.
• Fixed bug that would not display a list of internal networks in VM network settings.
• Network settings are now (somewhat) changable while a VM is running. This mimics the same functionality as the VirtualBox GUI.
• Shared folder settings are now changable while a VM is running.
• Added VirtualBox guest additions installation feature.
• Added 'Add VM' feature.
• Fixed issue where VM disks were created in the VirtualBox folder rather than being created in the VM folder when using the New Virtual Machine Wizard.
• Fixed bug that would not import SCSI controllers and attached disk images when using the Import Appliance Wizard.
• Added progress operation images.
• Updated text when deleting / removing a VM to match VirtualBox GUI.
• USB devices can now be attached / detached to a running VM.
• Medium attachments for storage controllers on VM details tab are now properly sorted instead of printed in the arbitrary order that they are read from VirtualBox.
• VRDE Server (remote display) is now enabled by default when creating a new VM.
• Refreshing the VirualBox host in the machine list now refreshes system properties cache as well.
• Fixed preview window scrolling bug. In some browsers, the preview thumbnail would stay in place as the window was scrolled.
• Fixed browser quirks when switching VMs. This would cause the vm list pane to grow in width while a VM was loading in certain browsers.

Requirements:

• PHP 5.1 or higher
• VirtualBox 3.2 or higher
