I have copied and pasted everything with the exception of the user I created.

I am on Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS, and loaded the virtual box (Which you fail to instruct me to install) and Apache and php from the packages available.

Output from starting the vboxwebsrv:

vboxwebsrv: error: failed to initialize COM! hrc=NS_ERROR_FAILURE

If I start it as root (sudo vboxwebsrv -v) it starts with no errors, but the web page says there is a problem with the config.php file.

So what is missing? Any ideas?

Thanks,
RonC
