At this point, VirtualBox should now be configured and running correctly. If you encounter problems, please recheck that you have setup VirtualBox as a service so it starts automatically after a reboot, and that your vbox.cfg file is configured correctly. To manage VirtualBox and any virtual machines, use the command line utility VBoxManage. See VBoxManage --help . For a list of available switches for VBoxManage, see this list.

<b>NOTE:</b> No need to change to port number to 9000 (as per above) in your Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber). It will still be using port 3389 even though phpVirtualBox is using port 9000.

If you're remotely connected to your server's phpvirtualbox and adding a new Guest remotely, open port 9000 (source and destination TCP poty) pointing to server's IP, so you can be able to access the console built-in to PhpVirtualBox.
