Having trouble setting up the server side of this on Linux Mint. I’ve installed Virtual Box 6.1 with the extension packages required for Remotebox. I’ve gone through the manual on the setup process but still cant seem to connect at all. In the log files it states that the connection is successful but when I go to connect it says no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused. I'm trying to connect from the client on a windows 10 machine
Turns out I couldnt start the service with the commands listed in the manual I had to navigate to the folder where the service was stored and start it with the command ./vboxweb-service.sh start
What do the contents of your file /etc/default/virtualbox show?
I've been having the same problem with a new server build (Ubuntu 22.04). Turns out the fix is to issue service vboxweb-service restart once the server is up and running. For some reason it won't listen on the port until it's restarted.
